SINGAPORE, Sept 7 (The Straits TImes/ANN): From next Monday (Sept 13), all migrant workers living in dormitories here will need to test themselves for Covid-19 regularly using antigen rapid test (ART) kits.

This is in line with a broader push to encourage more people to carry out self-testing, and could signal the long-awaited lifting of movement curbs that have kept workers largely confined to their dorms.
