A confirmed case of COVID-19 occurred in a local guest worker dormitory that has been classified as safe. The authorities ordered the isolation of about 800 guest workers in the dormitory.

 The Ministry of Health said in a statement last night (12 August) that the inter-departmental working group has completed all dormitory tests and there are still about 22,800 guest workers still under quarantine.

This includes about 800 guest workers who have just been quarantined. They were quarantined only after the authorities found a new confirmed case in a dormitory that had been classified as safe.

The authorities revealed that these guest workers will be tested after the quarantine period ends, and it is expected that the number of confirmed cases will increase in the next few days.

Two dormitories are classified as safe dormitories

In addition, the two dormitories located at No. 33 Senoko Avenue and No. 23 Sungai Kadut 2nd Street have been classified as safe dormitories.

At present, the two dormitories only live in rehabilitation guest workers and guest workers who have tested negative for coronary disease, so they are no longer infected.
