SINGAPORE: While there have been some comments that the authorities have reduced the volume of COVID-19 testing for migrant workers, this is not true, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong on Monday .
Mr Gan added that a total of 21,000 migrant workers living in dormitories have been tested since the start of the outbreak. The authorities started testing at dormitories where there were a high number of cases detected, and now it is actively testing at other dormitories as cases emerge, including at factory-converted dormitories, he said.“We are also actively testing around confirmed cases in these dormitories, where new cases are starting to emerge in an effort to isolate cases, and contain further transmission,” he said.
