THE Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will reject all new work pass applications for foreign workers from Hubei until further notice, it said on Tuesday.
More than 30 new applications have been turned down so far. Renewal applications for existing work pass workers from Hubei will not be affected. MOM said: "Existing work pass holders from Hubei who are currently away or with recent Hubei travel history within the last 14 days should defer their return to Singapore." Employers are to ask these employees to defer their return until the situation stabilises.
