樟宜会展中心客工群聚情况 负责单位称情况已改善

根据国防部昨晚(18日)发布的脸书贴文,声称当局获悉网络流传有关在樟宜会展中心社区隔离设施内,客工在排队等候食物时群聚的情况。 负责管理该设施的华东酒店集团,解释该视频是在5月10日拍摄。 该酒店也释出本月12日和14日的视频,解释排队分配食物的情况已改善。 酒店也称,由于这些群体都是对冠病检测呈阳性患者,故此对彼此间的风险不大。而当时出现拥堵情况的也仅限这部分。 当局仍寻求客工合作以有序排队,也部署或招募更多志工来协助人流管理和分配食物,并安排错开进餐时间,以减少领餐区的拥堵情况。 樟宜会展中心隔离设施可容纳4千400名病患。4月25日,第一批病患入住,目前该设施还收容约2千600名冠状病毒19 轻症或康复中的患者。政府仍将扩大该隔离设施。
