SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): Singapore has discovered more virus cases in a foreign worker dormitory that was within the epicentre for the Covid-19 outbreak in the country last year, raising concerns about reinfections as almost all the labourers had previously tested positive.
To stop the potential spread at the Westlite Woodlands dorm, more than 1,100 people living in the same block as the infected workers were recalled from work and will be sent to a government quarantine facility for 14 days, according to a letter, signed by the dormitory’s manager to clients on Wednesday, that was seen by Bloomberg News.
