Migrant workers must be tested every 14 days either in a dormitory or at a regional screening center.

Safeguards to be implemented to keep workers safe include having workers report, twice a day, their own temperature and whether they have acute respiratory illness symptoms. Those who report sick will be monitored at medical posts.

Wastewater from higher-risk dormitories will be monitored for traces of the virus.

If our monitoring picks up potential infections among the migrant workers, the ITF (Interagency Task Force) will quickly isolate and quarantine all at-risk workers within the block that was housing the infected worker as a precautionary measure, the statement wrote.

Aggressive testing will be conducted to identify any further spread of the virus.

Safe living measures in dormitories include staggered pick-up and drop-off timings, updating of the worker’s residential addresses, and minimising mixing between blocks. Migrant workers are expected to observe safe distancing at work.
