SINGAPORE - New Covid-19 cases in dormitories previously cleared of the virus were picked up mainly through active surveillance testing and aggressive contact tracing, the Ministry of Health said.

These were detected primarily through active surveillance testing, such as rostered routine testing , and through aggressive tracing and testing, whenever a new case is detected. Before dormitory residents are allowed to return to work, the dormitory operators have to implement various physical distancing measures to limit inter-mixing of residents across rooms, levels and blocks, as well as when using common facilities and during transport to and from worksites, said MOH.

Close contacts will be quarantined and must be tested negative at the end of their quarantine period before they are able to return to work.
