SINGAPORE - Safe distancing must be observed in lorries used to ferry workers involved in essential services, the authorities said on Friday .
This is to make sure workers can maintain a safe distance of 1m while they are seated at the back of the lorry. Photos of such instances showed seven or more workers sitting in cramped conditions with little to no space between them. Mr Calvin Lim, general manager of Capital Development which operates Toh Guan Dormitory, said:"One of the concerns has always been mode of transport. For example, there are chances of catching the virus on the way back from work.Toh Guan Dormitory has 25 Covid-19 cases to date and has been declared an isolation area, which means its workers cannot leave their rooms for 14 days.
So only one worker can be ferried at a time?
What about motorcycles? Did you know all the passengers seats are less than 1m from the driver seat in a 4-seater car? Coughing spreads droplets up to 6m. Sneezing spreads droplets up to 8m. You are already fucked at 1m. Stop picking on the banglas.
That’s just stupid 🙄
And what about pillion passengers on motor bikes? And people in their cars?
