COVID-19: Over 2,500 public transport workers here affected by M'sia lockdown provided hotel accomodation

This “temporary relief measure” will give companies more time to work out sustainable arrangements and more details on how they can apply for the financial support will be announced at a later date, said Teo at a press conference chaired by the COVID-19 multi-ministry taskforce.

The ministry is also working with the industry to facilitate the accommodation in Housing Board flats and private properties for such workers. All non-essential businesses will be closed. Malaysians are prohibited from travelling overseas, while foreign tourists and visitors will not be allowed to enter Malaysia.

“The hospitals and various service providers are now working with these healthcare workers to see whether we can accommodate them in Singapore,” said Gan. When asked about the possibility of relaxing restrictions on short-term rental here, taskforce co-chair Lawrence Wong stressed the government is prepared to be flexible on existing rules regarding occupancy in Housing board flats, given the current public health emergency.

Separately on Tuesday, National Transport Workers’ Union executive secretary Melvin Yong said on Facebook that the union has worked with the Land Transport Authority and the public transport operators to secure and provide hotel accommodation for over 2,500 affected public transport workers for the next two weeks.
