About 1,300 workers will be progressively relocated to the floating accommodations in batches over the next few weeks. They have undergone health checks and have also been informed about the round-the-clock medical assistance. Their temperature will also be checked twice a day.

Each room is provided with a kettle and cleaning kit and will accommodate only two to three occupants. Workers may leave their rooms for at least an hour each day. Occupants are also issued care packs containing masks, thermometers, snacks and instant beverages.

Wi-Fi access and SIM cards are also provided whilst meals are delivered directly to rooms.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
