48 hrs, nothing done & he is still in the SAME room with the rest of the healthy 11 workers

An employer revealed in a Facebook post on Wednesday (15 July) that one of her migrant workers, who was recently tested positive for COVID-19, was not immediately transferred to an isolation area following the results confirmation from the Ministry of Health (MOH).

Rather, the infected worker was placed in the same room as other healthy 11 workers by the dormitory operator.

Tsjin Dolly Chandra noted that the swab test was done for her worker on 22 June and she received a SMS from MOH on 13 July at 8.30am stating that the worker has been tested positive for the coronavirus. MOH added in the SMS that the worker should “immediately” inform the dorm operator about this.

However, Ms Tsjin noted that the dorm operator said that they cannot do anything about it and advised the other healthy workers in the room to put on their masks.

She added that she called MOH’s hotline on 13 July (Monday) to follow-up regarding this issue and was told that MOH needs another 24 hours to make arrangement to relocate the migrant worker to an isolation centre.

She also said that the case was then passed to the Taskforce.

“Till now more than 48 hrs, nothing done & he is still in the SAME room with the rest of the healthy 11 workers,” she wrote in the post.

To make it worse, the employer stated that when she called MOH again yesterday (15 July), the Ministry said there’s “no record of our case in their (MOH) system”.

“All the government agency and dormitory pushing the responsibility from one department to another department. No wonder the cases in the dormitory never ending..as they do not bother to isolate the positive tested worker,” she expressed.

If that’s not all, she also said that the security at the dormitory still required the infected worker to go “up and down to their office to see him”, revealing that the he has been moving around despite being infected with the highly contagious virus.

When asked on how the other healthy workers in the room are feeling, Ms Tsjin said to TOC that, “They are living in fear and worried. Even the infected worker (is) also worried that he might spread (the virus) to his mates”.

She added, “12 men in a room…high risk lo. The dormitory just ask them to wear mask. My worker himself asked to isolate but the security replied him NO SPARE ROOM”.

The employer also said to TOC that she did not want to bring the matter to social media but had no choice.

“I do not want to post in media but we do not know where to get help. No choice..so I post and hope to get some directions online,” she said.

The other workers are wearing face masks all day long. It's all okay. Chill.

Not surprising. The confirmed cases is a mere fraction of those going for testing.
