Teams with officers from the Ministry of Manpower , police and Singapore Armed Forces have been deployed to all purpose-built foreign worker dormitories to tackle a sharp spike in Covid-19 cases in these places.
They help to ensure that the workers' meals are delivered on time, and look out for their well-being. The experience gained at S11 Dormitory and Westlite ensured that the process of implementing new measures for Toh Guan Dormitory was much smoother, said Mrs Teo. She added that the other priority is to thin out the number of people in each dormitory such that safe distancing measures are effective.
On the decision to quarantine workers, she said:"Given the scale and the complexity of the operations, it was never going to be a trivial decision to implement these measures, where the evidence did not previously suggest they were necessary."
