Siloso Beach Resort on Sentosa will be used to house foreign workers, the the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) said in response to media queries on April 30.

Workers will have to undergo medical testing to ensure they do not have any symptoms of Covid-19 infection before they can move into the resort that has been designated by the government as one of the facilities to house healthy migrant workers.

The SLA spokesperson said on-site amenities and meals will be provided for the well-being of the occupants.

This latest move is to get healthy migrant workers out of dormitories.

Siloso Beach Resort has 196 rooms.

However, it is not known exactly how many foreign workers will be housed there.

So far, about 10,000 workers who are not sick have been moved out of the dormitories.

These include those working in essential services.

They are currently staying at Singapore Armed Forces camp sites, floating hotels, vacant public housing blocks, Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Civil Defence Force facilities, and converted sports halls.
