Ms Anthea Ong asked the Minister for Health (a) whether there is a medical consensus on the blood clotting abnormalities seen with COVID-19 patients; (b) whether the Ministry is looking at overseas data to guide Singapore; (c) what measures are being taken in the dormitories to detect blood clots early; (d) what support is given to conduct research on this growing concern; and (e) whether the Ministry will give priority to fast-track such research.
