By now, you should know that there’s a COVID-19 cluster at a Seletar Aerospace Heights construction site, limited to the sites at 8 and 12 Seletar Aerospace Heights.
The project site is for an expansion of the Singapore Service Centre of Canadian aviation firm Bombardier.
Five Bangladesh nationals who are infected with COVID-19 are being linked to the site, and since 9 February 2020, construction works at the site have been halted.
The infected workers are all with a subcontractor (a major construction site will have many subcontractors to work different parts of the project).
Today, Bangladesh newspaper The Daily Star reported that one of the Bangladesh nationals is unfortunately in critical condition.
