SINGAPORE - As the Omicron wave eases, the hospitals here now have to contend with a"debt" that they have accumulated in this pandemic, which is attending to the large number of chronically ill patients who need medical follow-ups.

Referring to them as the hospitals'"business-as-usual" patients, he added:"We now have a BAU debt that has to be repaid one way or another." First, it will progressively shift its focus back to serving BAU patients in the hospitals."Hospitals are now freeing up some of the beds and manpower that had been ringfenced for Covid-19," Mr Ong said.

Thirdly, MOH will continue to make full use of the Covid Treatment Facilities . The existing CTF at Tampines will be converted back to a nursing home around April.
