Rise of covid-19 cases in foreign worker dorms

Is it all bleak? I hope not

There has been much focus on foreign workers last week since the Ministry of Health (MOH) uncovered a growing number of covid-19 cases in the foreign worker dormitories. According to the official word, the sudden flood of cases may have been caused by their nature of work at construction sites, or social gatherings.


During such activities, the virus had spread among them. Those infected then brought spread the virus back in their cramped dorms – where some 10 or 12 men share a communal room and facilities. I certainly hope the MOH is working on a fast and effective solution to tackle this rise of covid-19 cases among the foreign workers.


In more positive news, two Indian superstars, actor Rajinikanth and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, have shared encouraging messages to their fans. Their words were especially meant for foreign workers here, at the request of Singapore's Minister for Communications and Information S Iswaran.
