SINGAPORE - Foreign workers in dorms are getting help to monitor their health through telemedicine and a gadget that checks oxygen levels.

Monitoring is seen as the next step in containing the coronavirus outbreak, which has predominantly affected foreign workers. "We are introducing new measures that will help us... do the health surveillance... in a more comprehensive way," said Mrs Teo.
