\nWorkers staying in dormitories as well as workers in the marine, process and construction sectors and personnel who go into work sites, are required to undergo rostered routine testing (RRT) every 14 days.
\nAs part of measures to ensure the safe restart of work, employers are required to have their workers complete a swab test in the last 14 days by 5 September.
\nIn a joint release, the Ministry of Manpower, Building and Construction Authority, Economic Development Board and Health Promotion Board said workers staying in dormitories as well as workers in the marine, process and construction sectors and personnel who go into work sites, are required to undergo rostered routine testing (RRT) every 14 days.
\n\u201cWorkers who have not done so will have their AccessCode Status reflected as Red under the \u201cHealth Status\u201d, and will not be able to return to work,\u201d said the release.
\nThe authorities revealed that 82% or about 16,000 employers have \u201clogged into the Health Promotion Board\u2019s Swab Registration System (SRS) to schedule their workers for RRT\u201d.
\nAs such, around 102,000 workers who need to undergo RRT have yet to be scheduled for swab testing.
\n\u201cEmployers are reminded to quickly schedule appointment slots for their workers if they have not done so, to avoid disruption to business operations.\u201d
\nThe available locations can be seen in the SRS when booking appointment dates, said the authorities. These comprise 18 regional screening centres and purpose-built dormitories across the city-state such as The Float @ Marina Bay, Old Police Academy, PPT Lodge 1B, Sungei Tengah Lodge and Tampines Dormitory.
\nOnce scheduled under the SRS, workers will be automatically assigned new dates for future swab tests. Employers are mandated to regularly check the SRS \u201cif there are new workers whom they need to schedule appointments for\u201d, said the release.
\n\u201cWe will be continuously adding new workers as their dormitories are cleared, and the workers become due for RRT,\u201d it added.
