Asymptomatic workers undergo swab testing and, if negative, continue working with surveillance. Symptomatic workers are tested and placed on medical leave; if the initial test is negative, a second test is done on day 3. Workers who test positive are referred to an infectious disease physician and admitted to Hospital Sg Buloh. Pregnant or immunocompromised workers are sent home for 14 days of surveillance regardless of symptoms.
