7 Quick Build Dormitories ready to house 8,000 migrant workers

in migrant worker housing. The newly built dormitories will pilot some new standards to make dormitory living more resilient to public health risks like COVID-19.

“The toilet is great, there’s a toilet per room. It’s more hygienic. In the past, the rooms were very crowded. Now it’s more spacious and comfortable,” Mr Yang said. More single-bed sick bay rooms have also been included, at 1.5 per cent of bed capacity. A red zone sick bay area has also been designated for residents who test positive for COVID-19.

"These are places where there high risk of infection. Therefore de-densification as well as appropriate safe living measures are actually quite important," he said. Temperature scans and sanitisation at the facility’s entrance are also strictly observed, as are measures such as regular routine testing.

Second Minister for Trade and Industry Tan See Leng said that the specifications built into these facilities will serve as a guide for more permanent solutions.
