WESTLITE Accommodation, which operates a workers' dormitory that was the scene of a minor fracas, said a sharp rise in Covid-19 cases at the dormitory meant that some infected workers were unable to be moved promptly to recovery facilities and healthcare facilities.
"Over the past week, there has been a spike in cases detected among SembCorp Marine (Sembmarine) workers. Due to the large numbers, there have been delays in conveyance to recovery facilities and healthcare facilities," it said in a statement on Thursday (Oct 14).
