Singapore to create additional housing for 60,000 migrant workers as part of plans to reduce the density in current dormitories which saw mass outbreaks of coronavirus infection

Migrant workers look out from their balconies at Punggol S11 dormitory, during the coronavirus outbreak in Singapore on April 6, 2020.

The nation of 5.7 million people has more than 35,000 cases, one of the largest numbers in Asia, largely due to infections in cramped, bunk-bed accommodation that house more than 300,000 mostly South Asian workers. It will also temporarily fit out unused state properties, such as former schools and vacant factories, the ministries of manpower and national development said on Monday.

It is testing new standards, including increased living space per resident, decreasing bed numbers in each room and reducing how many people would share a toilet and bathroom.
