It’s been a year since migrant workers in Singapore were confined to dormitories to prevent an outbreak of COVID-19 in their ranks from spreading across the island. Now, weeks after new cases among the laborers dropped to almost zero and thousands have received vaccinations, some wonder how long it will take for restrictions to end.
“I don’t have any freedom to move around … only allowed to leave from the dorm to worksite, dorm to worksite,” said Arif, a 30-year-old worker from Bangladesh who has been living in housing on the same construction site since the pandemic began. “Right now my only feeling is I want to go home to see my family, but I haven’t got the vaccination. I worry if I go home, I cannot come back.”
