WHAT happens when foreign workers have to undergo mandatory home quarantine?
The lack of a proper monitoring system as well as their poor living conditions came to light in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur.
It all started when several foreign workers who tested positive for Covid-19 at a construction site in the neighbourhood were moved to a health facility.
Their housemates who tested negative were ordered to undergo mandatory quarantine at home.
However, when they ran out of food supplies before the two-week period ended, some of the quarantined workers went out to buy food at a local supermarket and were spotted by a resident.
