SINGAPORE — Foreign worker dormitories in Singapore have been in the spotlight due to the spike in Covid-19 cases over the past few weeks. TODAY’s visual correspondent Nuria Ling visited three dormitories — Westlite Papan, S11 Dormitory and Tampines Dormitory — to find out more about the living situations, and what authorities are doing to manage the facilities.
This visit was arranged by the Manpower Ministry on Tuesday (April 21), before the additional circuit breaker restrictions were announced.
WESTLITE PAPAN
There are around 5,700 workers living in the Westlite Papan dormitory at Jurong, after some 1,400 workers in essential services were moved out.
So far, there are no confirmed Covid-19 cases in this dormitory. With the additional circuit breaker restrictions announced on Tuesday, foreign workers are not allowed to leave the dormitory but they can leave their rooms to exercise and shop for necessities in the minimart within the compound at staggered timings.
