Is it just me or does this kinda sound like an advertisement for the tourist industry? Call me cynical.

I mean yeah people are being put up in hotels because it makes sense.

Or maybe the government just cares for its residents. Getting stuck in a room for 2 weeks is not easy. Govt is just trying to make it more tolerable.

Its one way the Singapore government is helping the tourism industry. No tourists are allowed in, there are many empty rooms.

This. They also housed 100+k Malaysian commuters locked out of JB when the causeway was closed in local hotels.

Win win win for workers, employers and the country
