政府拟两年内增11宿舍 新标准下每房仅设10床位
根据国家发展部和人力部联合文告，当局指出随着客工宿舍内冠状病毒19疫情受控，更多康复客工将返回工作岗位，跨政府部门防疫小组正与宿舍经营者和雇主，为客工们安排住宿。
目前一些客工被安顿在军营、闲置组屋、体育馆等地，惟这些都是临时举措，文告称当局无意让所有客工都回到原来宿舍，旨在减少客工宿舍的密度。
联合领导跨政府部门防疫小组的国家发展部长黄循财也指出，新标准下客工人均居住面积增加，宿舍每个房间最多能放10个创维，并只允许使用单层床。
当局将在今年底之前，先改造目前无人使用的旧校舍、工厂厂房等，以及兴建速成宿舍（Ouick Build Dormitories，简称QBD），以容纳六万名客工。
速成宿舍预计能容纳约2万5000名客工，预计数个月就能组装好，当局拟在大士、克兰芝、蔡厝港和淡滨尼等地区进行工程。同时，旧宿舍也将进行翻新。
据了解，将有36个无人使用的旧校舍、工厂厂房等，将被改造成临时客工宿舍。
这些旧校舍包括前淡滨尼初级学院、前实龙岗初级学院、前淡马锡小学和前光伟中学。
