SINGAPORE - It has been almost two weeks since all foreign worker dormitories were declared to be clear of Covid-19.The Ministry of Health announced on Saturday that Sungei Tengah Lodge - Singapore's largest foreign worker dormitory with 19,000 occupants - was a new cluster after two new coronavirus cases were linked to the 55 previous ones there.
On Aug 11, the Ministry of Manpower had declared all dormitories to be clear of Covid-19, save for 17 standalone blocks which had served as quarantine facilities. Around a week later, on Aug 19, the ministry reported that the blocks used for quarantine were cleared of Covid-19 as well. On Sunday , MOM said it had issued a stay-home notice to around 4,800 workers at Sungei Tengah Lodge as a precautionary measure while the health status of the workers was being determined.
In light of the resurgence of Covid-19 cases in previously cleared dormitories, health economist Phua Kai Hong asked about the efficacy of the testing procedure.
