SINGAPORE – The Changi Exhibition Centre, home of the Singapore Airshow, received its first batch of Covid-19 patients on Saturday (April 25).
About 50 patients with mild symptoms are now at the Community Isolation Facility, with their meals served by robots.
The facility’s large indoor capacity of 33,000 sq m allows it to house about 2,700 patients.
This is more than five times that of the first Community Isolation Facility at D’Resort NTUC in Pasir Ris.
It has the capacity to expand further if necessary, tapping another 75,000 sq m of outdoor space, the facility’s executive committee said during a tour of the site on Friday.
The facility is managed by hotel Mandarin Oriental Singapore, and has 52 jet blowers to ensure the area remains well ventilated while the temperature is kept at 28 to 29 deg C.
The patients’ living quarters are equipped with Wi-Fi access, fans, beds and storage cabinets.
Welcome packs, which include essentials such as hand sanitiser, detergent and toiletries, are distributed to each patient.
