SINGAPORE - More worker dorms are being built and given top attention to meet evolving isolation requirements and alleviate overcrowding in existing dorms, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said in a Facebook post on Sunday .
Photos accompanying Mr Khaw's post showed what appeared to be prefabricated dormitories being built, with double-decker bunk beds inside.There are now more than 2,900 beds, and any foreign worker with fever symptoms can access on-site medical attention, swabbing and isolation facilities, Mr Khaw said.
This is due to the high rate of infections coming from the construction sector, with work site transmissions a contributing factor.
