SINGAPORE, Oct 17 (The Straits Times/ANN): Migrant workers who do not show any symptoms of illness may not need to be tested regularly for Covid-19 as Singapore moves towards living with the virus, infectious diseases experts said.

This comes after a surge of Covid-19 cases in the dorms that coincided with updated health protocols to make living with the virus less onerous.
