The total number of infections was brought to 4,427, including 10 deaths. The Ministry of Health reported 654, or around 90 per cent, of the new cases are foreign workers. Singaporean government has swung into action, moving thousands of them to other accommodation including a floating complex in order to decongest the facilities and lessen the chances of infection.
The country is also providing meals and ramped-up cleaning services at quarantined dorms, and is helping run the facilities, which are usually privately operated.
