SINGAPORE – A facility built at Tanjong Pagar Terminal to house patients or foreign workers with the coronavirus started receiving workers on Tuesday (May 5).
When The Straits Times visited the site on Saturday, workers could be seen donning masks and settling in.
The Ministry of National Development said the partially completed tentage at the terminal can house up to 3,500 people.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean shared pictures of the facility which he said is being prepared to house patients who are currently recovering or who have recovered from Covid-19.
The facility at the terminal includes tentage with beds and floating workers’ accommodation facilities, going by photos posted by Mr Teo, who is also Coordinating Minister for National Security. He also noted that the tents have coolers in every room and a fan for every patient.
The tentage and floating accommodations are for step-down care facilities, with proper social distancing in place, he said.
