47% of Singaporeâs migrant workers infected with COVID-19
Singapore: New data shows that 152,000 foreign workers - 47 per cent - have been infected.
In comparison, it is estimated less than 11 per cent of London s population have been infected since the pandemic began, the BBC reported.
Without counting the migrant workers, fewer than 4,000 people have tested positive in Singapore.
The men, the majority of whom live in large dormitories where several men share a room amid cramped facilities, have essentially been quarantined from the rest of the population since cases exploded in April.
Over the past months, infections in both the general population and the migrant dormitories have dropped to almost zero and authorities have just announced a further easing of restrictions for the general population.
