Not moving foreign workers out of dormitories earlier as part of efforts to curb the coronavirus spread was not just a question of cost, said Manpower Minister Josephine Teo yesterday.
Rather, other measures needed to be in place to break the transmission, such as work stoppages, closing of shopping areas, and preventing people from socialising.
This goes “well beyond cost”, she added during a virtual press conference.
Mrs Teo was asked if the potential high costs was why foreign workers were not asked to move out of dormitories earlier, at a time when there were not as many confirmed cases among them to justify doing so.
