>Workers will be required to go through multiple rounds of disinfection and testing before being given clearance to enter, and won’t be able to leave the site until their next break – reportedly once a week.

I can't imagine living and working for weeks at a time in an environment like that,it sounds awfully dystopian. Imagine a cyberpunk future where the lower casts are permanent sequestered from society because they've been quarantined.

There is a movie you may want to watch.

"Andromeda Strain", directed by Robert Wise, 1971.

The sequence where the specialists are "sterilized" before entering the most secure levels of the lab are best.

Robot voice: "Please enter the chamber and be sterilized."

Dr Leavitt (played by Kate Reid): "I'd rather be decontaminated."

They can leave at any time. It's just that their social credit score will go to 0.
