About 1,300 workers will be progressively relocated to the floating accommodations in batches over the next few weeks. They have undergone health checks and have also been informed about the round-the-clock medical assistance. Their temperature will also be checked twice a day.

Each room is provided with a kettle and cleaning kit and will accommodate only two to three occupants. Workers may leave their rooms for at least an hour each day. Occupants are also issued care packs containing masks, thermometers, snacks and instant beverages.

Wi-Fi access and SIM cards are also provided whilst meals are delivered directly to rooms.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
