“The taskforce has drawn up a plan to allow migrant workers residing in the dormitories including both the purpose-built dormitories as well as factory-converted dormitories, to be progressively cleared so that they can safely return to work when the time comes,” he stressed.
SINGAPORE (May 12): The number of migrant workers testing positive for Covid-19 is likely to “remain high for some time” as aggressive testing is carried out among those living in dormitories, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said at a press conference on Tuesday.
Gan, who also chairs the Covid-19 multi-ministry taskforce added that this serves to ensure that the workers are healthy and well enough to return to work, when the time comes.
