Singapore to vaccinate migrant workers against COVID-19,
starting with 10,000 dormitory residents
COVID-19 ดาวน์โหลด slotxo ios vaccinations for migrant workers in Singapore will begin
with 10,000 people living in the country's five largest dormitories, said the Ministry
of Health (MOH) on Monday (Mar 8).
This batch of workers have never been infected by COVID-19, said the ministry, adding
that their vaccinations will be conducted at the five dormitories.
Workers who have been fully vaccinated can be subjected to a lower frequency of
testing that is conducted every 28 days instead of the current 14-day cycle.
Vaccinations will progressively be made available to other migrant workers, said MOH.
Migrant workers living in dormitories made up about 90 per cent of Singapore's
COVID-19 tally. Infections among this group have fallen over the past few months,
with no cases reported on most days.
In a media release, MOH said migrant worker dormitories are where large COVID-19
clusters could "rapidly develop and grow, with a high risk of transmission to the local
community".
"Vaccination of migrant workers living in dormitories is thus part of our national
COVID-19 vaccination strategy to protect all Singaporeans and long-term residents,"
it added.
