One such facility at Changi Exhibition Centre - home to the Singapore Airshow, Asia's biggest aerospace gathering - could eventually house over 4,000 patients recovering from the disease and those with mild symptoms. Despite the high total of cases, Singapore has reported 12 deaths and 24 people are in intensive care. The indoor space can house 2,700 patients, while an ongoing outdoor extension will add another 1,700 beds. A nearby conference centre called EXPO is already housing hundreds of COVID-19 patients. The facility could house up to 15,000 foreign workers, local media reported, but authorities have yet to decide how it will be used.
