SINGAPORE - All dormitories, with the exception of 17 blocks in six purpose-built dormitories which serve as quarantine facilities, have been declared to be clear of the coronavirus by the Ministry of Manpower as of Tuesday .
With the latest clearance, four in five, or 315,000 workers in the construction, marine and process sectors - which have been disproportionately affected by the coronavirus - have been given the green light to resume work. Most of the others will also be able to do so once dormitory operators, employers and the workers themselves fulfil additional conditions, including having workers download the TraceTogether app to facilitate contact tracing.MOM's announcement comes four days after all 323,000 migrant workers in dorms have been tested for Covid-19 on Aug 7, with about nine in 10 workers having recovered or been found to be free of the coronavirus as of last week.
