The video has since been circulated online.

The mass dance was said to have been part of a morning exercise routine conducted after oral health therapists from the Health Promotion Board gave dental health talks.

Responses to the dance routine video online have been positive.

The comments lauded the spontaneity of the foreign workers for being game enough to follow the routine, and the session was imagined to provide a break from the tedium of being holed up for two weeks inside one location with very little else to do.

Background

This facility at the Singapore Expo has been operational since April 10.

It houses two types of patients: Recovering patients and "early patients".

Recovering patients are the ones who have been to hospital and have "more or less recovered" from the infection, but may still have the virus in them.

Early patients comprise confirmed Covid-19 cases who are mostly well.

The daily routine at the Expo facility is simple and communal.

The lights go off by 11.30pm and come on before 7.30am

All 10 halls at Singapore Expo have been converted into community care facilities with a total capacity of 8,000 beds.

Patients at these facilities, who include both foreign workers and locals, are in stable condition and are still monitored regularly.

Work is also ongoing to increase the number of community recovery facilities, which are meant for patients who remain well 14 days after testing positive and do not require further medical care, despite still having the virus.
