【冠状病毒19】建设局放宽同一工地客工住宿限制
建设局宣布，放宽同一个工地的客工住宿限制。
建设局早前限定总承包商只能将工地的客工，安置在不超过10个住所内，避免和不同宿舍的客工交叉感染冠毒。而随着冠毒的病例减少，建设局宣布于昨日（8月10日）起，暂时终止有关的限制，以协助建筑业复工。
惟，当局仍然促请雇主们将同一工地的客工们安置在一起，不要按所属公司进行住宿分配。当局呼吁雇主和宿舍经营者紧密合作，确保客工宿舍做足安全居住措施。
当局也允许所有雇佣建筑客工的公司，可在没有申请之下立刻复工。
但是，当局仍要求总承包商，为需要为进入建筑工地或施工场所的客工进行申请，以避免相关场所互让涌入大批客工，提高了感染风险。
而承包商和施工场所的业主受促，在随着工作客工人数的增加，必须严格监督并管制客工之间互动和交流，确保不同宿舍或不同工作的客工没有互动。
除了建设局，人力部也会随着加强监管工作，不遵守安全管理措施的人士将面对相应的对付行动，包括开罚单和停工令。
另外，所有客工在SGWorkPass应用程序中的通行码，将于周四（8月13日）起改为“批准复工”，即通过冠毒检测、没有获得居家通知、安装了“合力追踪”应用程序及住宿地点没有病例这四项条件的客工们，就可以离开住所上班。
