Many of the recent COVID-19 cases are work permit holders living in dormitories.
On Tuesday, Minister Josephine Teo explained our three-pronged strategy to tackle the problem: Actively contain the spread of the disease, stop new clusters from forming, and separate out the workers in essential services.
We have deployed FAST teams (Forward Assurance Support Teams) in all the dorms to support the operation. We are deploying medical teams too, to look after the health and welfare of the workers.
Many ministries are working closely together to ensure the well-being of the workers, and help the sick ones to recover.
Foreign workers have helped us to build HDB towns, MRT lines, airports and ports. Some man midnight shifts in our factories. Others take care of our sick and elderly in hospitals and nursing homes. Hundreds of thousands of Singapore households depend on domestic workers from neighbouring countries.
We are grateful for their contributions, and for their understanding and cooperation as we tackle COVID-19. We will work with them, especially those living in the dorms, to see through this difficult period. – LHL
