Latest Update on Revised Approach to Manage Construction Worksites Visited by COVID-19 Positive (C+) Cases

Our construction industry will follow the revised 1-2-3 protocols outlined in MOH’s press release on 9 October 2021 for C+/Ag+ cases at construction worksites. As such, this updated circular will supercede BCA’s circular issued on 30 September 2021.

The key points to note are:

Subcontractors shall immediately notify main builders of worksites if C+/Ag+ employee(s) have visited the worksite within 7 days prior to their COVID-19 diagnosis.

There is no need to submit disinfection report to BCA but contractors should immediately disinfect the worksite or affected work zone(s) in accordance to NEA’s guidelines.

As part of the 1-2-3 protocols, only individuals issued with Health Risk Warnings (HRW) need to undergo ART and follow MOH’s HRW protocol. There is no need for additional ART testing for other workers who are not issued with HRW.

Trained ART supervisors appointed by the main contractor or the subcontractor have to ensure all ART results are uploaded to:
- Swab Registration System V2 for Singapore Citizens / Permanent Residents
- FWMOMCare for work pass holders

All ART records (i.e. particulars and ART results of all personnel at the worksites) also have to be kept on site.
