Hostels for workers must be improved

IN the past few days, the number of Covid-19 cases has been breaking new records despite the best efforts of the authorities, in particular the Health Ministry, to flatten the rate of transmission. Standard operating procedures are in place and the public in general have been following them.

Recently, foreign workers have been making up most of the cases detected. However, we must not think they are the main cause in the spike of Covid-19 cases. We must compare their situation with ours instead.
