From cramped dorms to cruisers
Singapore is considering placing recovered migrant workers on cruise ships for their safety after COVID-19 cases surged in sprawling housing complexes where the foreign labourers live.
Cruise ships have been the centre of some mass outbreaks, including the Diamond Princess, which was quarantined for over a month in the Japanese port of Yokohama with more than 700 people becoming infected.
"Cruise ships are being considered as they have readily available rooms and en-suite toilets to minimise person-to-person contact," Singapore's tourism board said in a statement on Friday.
