Migrant workers not allowed to move out of high-risk areas
The Labour Ministry has issued orders prohibiting migrant workers from leaving high-risk areas as of Sunday in a bid to control the second wave of Covid-19 infections.
Those who violate this order will be charged for violating the Communicable Disease Act and emergency decree.
The ministry has also ordered employers to screen all migrant workers and ensure all protection measures like social distancing, temperature checking and provision of hand sanitising gel are observed.
Employers are also required to inform public health personnel immediately in case any employee shows symptoms of the virus.
