SINGAPORE - An inter-agency task force has been set up to provide support to foreign workers and dormitory operators, the Ministry of Manpower said on Tuesday .
Foreign worker dormitories have been a source of concern during the coronavirus outbreak due to the large number of workers housed in them. Caterers have adjusted their menus to suit the dietary preferences of the residents and are distributing meals in batches to ensure freshness and to stagger meal times.
MOM has deployed teams on the ground to ensure workers monitor their temperature twice daily and wear masks when they step out of their rooms to collect meals or use the washroom.
