若时光能倒流 杨莉明:最想知道客工群体感染何时开始

人力部长杨莉明,今午(25日)在《联合早报》主持的直播节目中,表示若时光能倒流,最想知道病毒什么时段开始在客工群体传播,那么或许阻断措施就能尽早开始,不是等到四月。 《联合早报》记者是在视频对谈中,询问回顾过去两个月,哪些措施可以做得更好或有改善空间,以及在大型客工宿舍和医疗上的探讨。 对此,杨莉明表示“我个人也在反复思考,尤其在夜深人静的时候。” 她说,疫情一开始初期,政府最担心的是从国外引进病毒,故此2月初期就要求回到新加坡的客工,需履行居家通知。但后来也要当心从世界各地返国的国人。 如果时光能倒流,她最希望知道病毒从哪个时段开始,感染已经侵入社区和客工群体。 ”如果当时病例已经开始扩散,我们或许推动阻断措施,不会等到四月。我个人估计,最起码可推前两周。” 她指出,从专家研究也得知客工之间感染不仅是宿舍问题,他们也有共同工作场所如建筑工地等,而工地中工友间共用工具也可能是传染渠道之一。而未落实阻断措施前,整个新加坡都还在活动,”我们又以什么理由要求客工留在宿舍别出来?毕竟他们还要出来工作。“ 疫情稳定后冀检讨客工待遇和住宿条件 她认为,宿舍里、工地和休闲场所落实的防疫措施,必须同时并行,才能阻断疫情扩散。 她也表示,待疫情稳定后,政府需全面检讨客工待遇和住宿条件,以及国家整体的医疗监测,负责任地面对问题。 杨莉明告知BBC:不完美惟尽力而为 早前,杨莉明在接受英国广播公司(BBC)采访时,也坦言“我们并不完美”(we’re…
