SINGAPORE:Singapore will impose an additional seven-day testing regime to all newly arrived workers in the construction, marine and process (CMP) sectors from higher-risk countries or regions after completing their 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN) from Feb 5.
The republic’s Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said the new requirement, which will apply to Work Permit and S Pass holders, is aimed to further reduce the risk of transmission from newly arrived migrant workers into the workplace.
It will also apply to those with In-Principle Approval (IPA) letters, it said in a statement today.
To be served at a designated facility, MOM said the new requirement will also apply to workers who have yet to complete their 14-Day SHN on Feb 5.
According to MOM, this requirement has been in place for newly arrived CMP foreign workers living in dormitories since Jan 6.
