\nThe government will also provide $50 for each worker per day for 14 days, to help employers that may incur extra costs due to Malaysia\u2019s new measures against the spread of COVID-19.
\nWith Malaysia\u2019s announcement on lockdown, Manpower Minister Josephine Teo said around 10,000 Malaysian workers who decided to stay in Singapore have been matched with temporary accommodations, reported Today.
\nAs a temporary and short-term move, the government will also provide $50 for each worker per day, capped at 14 days, to help employers that may incur extra costs due to Malaysia\u2019s new measures against the spread of COVID-19.
\n\u201cEmployers mostly can find the accommodation (for their Malaysian workers) on their own\u2026 and by and large, we have enough capacity to help them, so I\u2019m confident that all their needs will be met,\u201d she said during the COVID-19 ministerial taskforce\u2019s press briefing on Tuesday (17 March).
\nEarlier on Monday (16 March), Malaysia\u2019s Prime Minister issued a ban on all Malaysians from leaving and entering the country, as well as barring visitors from entering the country. This will be imposed from 18 \u2013 31 March.
\nSeparately, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong assured the public that Singapore is not exposed to an added risk of the virus spreading due to the arrival of Malaysians, who are trying to beat the lockdown deadline.
\nThis comes as the individuals entering the city-state are \u201cnot new people\u201d \u2013 they are the same people commuting across the border daily, he explained.
\nWong added that the Singapore authorities\u2019 priority now is ensuring these workers have enough accommodation.
\nDespite the\u00a0coronavirus outbreak\u00a0and looming global recession,\u00a0private home sales in February\u00a0soared by 114%, mainly driven by The M condo. Here are\u00a03 key reasons why it so sold well, despite the coronavirus outbreak
