SINGAPORE – A total of 342 migrant workers will serve a 14-day quarantine after a Covid-19 patient was detected in the Tuas dormitory they were staying at.
All of them were moved from the Space @ Tuas dorm to a government quarantine facility after the confirmed Covid-19 case was detected on Monday (Sept 28), said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) on Thursday.
The MOM added that the new case was discovered through the ministry’s rostered routine testing.
As a precautionary measure, a stay-home notice was issued to all workers staying at two blocks in Space @ Tuas.
MOM said that this precautionary measure had been introduced after its preliminary assessment of the situation to prevent further potential spread of Covid-19 infection.
Initially, physical segregation measures meant to keep workers across the two blocks from intermixing appeared to have been breached.
But after further investigation, it was established that it was unlikely for workers from different blocks to have intermixed.
Therefore, the stay-home notices for the unaffected block was rescinded.
