2. Rate of infection for workers living outside of dorms are not that high. Yes most of them are also of same nationalities. Why? Because they are not living in large communities.

3. Government is doing extensive testing in dormitories and hence more cases are being detected. In reality most of those cases are very mild, not even noticeable unless tested. Let government do such extensive testing among residents of expensive condos you'll be surprised how many such cases are discovered. There are huge number of carriers of the virus, some are known, others are not. Virus doesn't choose certain people of nationalities but hate mongers do. And I know many rich Singaporeans and expats who don't practice safe lifestyle at all. They are all at risk like it or not.

4. Why government is doing so extensive testing in dormitories but not in condos? Reason is simple too. Those workers are the people who are doing all the work for rest of the people. They are essential for the country and it is important to keep them healthy. The rich people are not really doing much real work. So if they get sick there won't be much impact on economy.

So instead of talking nonsense think with logic.
