New foreign workers to undergo additional testing regime

This is to minimise the risk of an imported COVID-19 positive case.

Newly arrived foreign workers approved for entry and staying in dormitories will have to go through an additional seven-day testing regime at a designated facility after their 14-day stay-home notice to minimise risk of transmitting COVID-19 into the dormitories, the Multi-Ministry Taskforce (MTF) said.

During the testing regime, workers will undergo additional swab tests, whilst still being allowed to work. Any positive case will be swiftly isolated and conveyed to care.

The MTF considers it prudent to reduce the risk of a missed case entering the dormitories as the Ministry of Manpower has started approving the entry of a larger number of foreign workers into Singapore.

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.
