SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Manpower and the Ministry of Health have apologised for an administrative error that led to a migrant worker being informed of his positive COVID-19 test result three weeks after he was swabbed,“We apologise for the error and consequent delay in conveying the test results to and to his employer. We have since reached out to the employer to explain the situation,” said the ministries in a joint statement.
This was despite being informed by MOH on Jul 13 that the ministry required 24 hours to arrange for the worker to be moved out of the dormitory.The employers were later told that the multi-ministry task force handling Singapore’s response to the disease outbreak would take care of the matter.MOH and MOM said the worker was tested as part of a survey.
However, an administrative error had occurred and the team conducting the survey realised that the swab test conducted for the worker was an individualised test rather than part of the pooled survey.
