COVID-19: Resident volunteers help with daily tasks at foreign worker dormitories

Manpower capacity at dormitories is getting a boost from resident volunteers. The Forward Assurance and Support Teams deployed by the inter-agency taskforce is working with dorm operators. Dorms like Sungei Tengah Lodge and S11 @ Punggol already have more than 100 resident volunteers each. They take care of tasks like maintaining cleanliness and hygiene and helping to distribute meals and supplies. The Manpower Ministry said the extra help means authorities and operators can better focus on other key issues like safe distancing measures.
