SINGAPORE - Close to 700 foreign workers are now being housed temporarily at Home Team Academy and Civil Defence Academy dormitory blocks, following plans to relocate them to alternative sites, in an effort to contain the spread of the coronavirus in foreign worker dormitories.
"This is part of a whole-of-government effort to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 in view of the increase in cases at foreign worker dormitories," said an SCDF spokesman. In a statement on Thursday, the MOE said that it will be implementing various health and safety protocols at the temporary facilities, such as keeping the workers in isolation and on stay-home notice where appropriate, but did not specify how many workers were currently staying at the facilities.
😶... more to come! Not the end yet! Imagine there’s around 200,000 migrant workers in 🇸🇬!🙈 Where else? Empty airports or airbase? Oh yes.. can build temporary tents in Singapore stadium n indoor stadium too as concerts are all cancelled in the meantime. 🧐
