SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore is preparing to house hundreds of foreign workers in accommodation vessels typically used for offshore and marine industry staff as it races to find alternatives to dormitories where the novel coronavirus has been spreading rapidly.

Tens of thousands of migrant workers, many from South Asia, live in cramped dormitories across Singapore, which have become the biggest source of coronavirus infections in recent days.

Authorities are moving some of the healthy residents of those facilities to other sites including military camps, an exhibition centre, vacant public housing blocks and the accommodation vessels, which they have called "floating hotels".

"Each facility can hold a few hundred occupants and can be suitably organised to achieve safe distancing," Minister of Transport Khaw Boon Wan said in a Facebook post on Sunday after he visited one of the vessels.

They are docked in a restricted area in a port terminal, Khaw said.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore said it was working with terminal operator PSA Singapore, Keppel Corp's rig-building unit, floating accommodation barge provider Bibby Maritime Ltd and serviced apartment operator The Ascott Ltd to bring in and manage two floating accommodations.

Khaw released photographs of a basic, clean cabin with three beds covered in blue linen, and said the residents would be able to use a deck for an hour of exercise every day.

Meals will be prepared off-site and delivered to the cabins to minimise intermingling. A medical facility is also being set up nearby on land.

Singapore reported 233 new coronavirus cases on Sunday taking its total to 2,532, eight of whom have died.

Singapore reports 447 new cases in biggest daily jump, total 3,699

404 of the new cases were linked to migrant workers’ dormitories.

While Singapore won global plaudits for its handling of the coronavirus, the disease has spread rapidly within its large migrant worker community, highlighting what rights groups say is a weak link in the city state’s containment efforts.

SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Health (MOH) has confirmed 1,111 new Covid-19 cases as of noon on Tuesday (April 21), as cases crossed the 9,000 mark.

Among the new cases, 20 are Singaporeans and permanent residents, while foreign workers living in dormitories continue to drive the increase.

The ministry said it is still working out the details of the cases and will provide further updates on Tuesday night
This brings the total number of coronavirus cases in Singapore to 9,125.

On Monday, the ministry announced the sharpest single-day spike in cases yet, reporting 1,426 cases, including 1,369 foreign workers living in dormitories.

The continued emergence of clusters linked to dormitories, together with the authorities' aggressive testing of the workers, have sent the total number of cases in Singapore surging since circuit breaker measures were introduced.

Singapore: Singapore is looking to pivot to a more aggressive coronavirus response strategy that involves mass testing for its population of 5.7 million people as cases in the city-state jumped more than ten-fold this month to cross 12,000.

Singapore registered 897 new coronavirus infections on Friday, taking its total number of cases to 12,075.

The country hopes to be able to “progressively reopen” its economy in about a month’s time, with “much more testings for the entire population and at the same time to take on” additional safe distancing measures, Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing said Thursday in an interview.
