Dormitories' infections: the last stretch

This means that all the migrant workers in the dormitories would be cleared by then, except for 28,000 workers still serving out their isolation period in the various quarantine facilities.
This last batch of workers come from dormitories with a relatively high prevalence of COVID-19, and will be subject to a final test before they complete their isolation periods.
Therefore, expect the daily case counts to be high for the coming two weeks, before tapering down thereafter.
