Advisory first dished out in late March, only to be strictly adhered on 11 April.

We could be looking at incubation period to be from 10/11 April till 24/25 April.
 
When Singaporeans kenna CB, FWs were still working. It only announce S11 dorm tio cheng that all construction workers stop work. Even now the FW cleaners are still working in our midst. Who can guarantee they are ok.
Maybe it time govt reduce reliance on FWs. It about time manual workers are being pay fairly. When I was kid, adults always said no education can only work road sweeper. Now this job exclusively for FWs.

Mai gong lah. TC cleaners still working. U dare say they never tio after they went tekka? Domestic workers bfs mostly car washers or TC cleaners.
 
In all honesty. Those dormitories workers has became a sacrificial lamb. Who passed them the virus? That is a question we have to ask ourselves. On the other hand, the virus have saved them their lives from doing dangerous construction job. Now they get to rest and paid at the same time. Going forward, their dwelling place will be greatly improved after this incident.
 
Not every FW lived in dorms. Some factories provide in house accommodation. Defu and sungei kadut plenty of this arrangement. Are these places being look into by MOM or MOH? These type of FWs are in the thousands. They are still coming out for their groceries.

Coronavirus lockdown: NZ to ease restrictions after 'stopping explosion'

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern has thanked people for "stopping an uncontrolled explosion of Covid-19", as she announced an easing of lockdown.
The country has been praised for its quick and strict response to the virus, and will move from "Level 4" lockdown to "Level 3" late next Monday.
It means some businesses can reopen, along with some schools, while rules on local travel will be relaxed.
"We have done what very few countries have been able to do," Ms Ardern said.
What is changing in New Zealand?
The country introduced a state of national emergency on 25 March, and went to "Level 4" later that day.
That was four days before the first virus-related death in the country was confirmed.
The Level 4 lockdown meant people had to stay at home, except for "essential personal movement". Exercise was allowed locally, but travel was "severely limited".
Businesses closed - except for essential services - as did schools and public venues. All gatherings were cancelled.

Level 3 allows some of those restrictions to be relaxed. Schools can open with "limited capacity", and businesses can open but not "physically interact with customers".
Gatherings of up to 10 people are allowed but only for weddings, funerals and tangihanga (Maori funeral rites).
Level 3 will last for at least two weeks, with a new decision on 11 May.
Separately, New Zealand closed its borders to almost all foreign travellers on 19 March - but that policy remains unchanged.
What did Jacinda Ardern say?
"We believe that decisive action, going hard and going early, gave us the very best chance of stamping out the virus. And it has," she said.
"We have done what very few countries have been able to do - we have stopped a wave of devastation."
Ms Ardern said the transmission rate - the number of cases each person with the virus passes it onto - is now less than half a person each.
When the transmission rate is below one, cases will decline and eventually die out.
"You, all of you, have stopped the uncontrolled explosion of Covid-19 in New Zealand," she said. "I couldn't feel prouder of the start that we have made together."
What is the Covid-19 situation in New Zealand?
New Zealand, which has a population of five million, has had 1,440 confirmed cases and 12 deaths.
Just nine new cases were announced on Monday. Seven of the deaths are linked to a care home in Christcurch.

So many dorms tio cheng, common point other than worksites has to little India. If ah tiong FWs included, then even more interesting.:biggrin:
 
I've always treated bangla workers with respect.

In fact I find it admirable that they had the courage to leave their home country to venture overseas to slog under the sun and are prepared to live in harsh conditions. When I was remodeling my house, the main contractor deployed a bunch of banglas. We made sure we provided everything for them to make them comfortable and treated them kindly. I only had one thing I asked of them. Please don't fuck my maids. And wife too, even if she asks for it.
