What do measures of management during this exceptional and volatile time tell us about the regulation of migrant-driven diversity and its implications in the arrival city? Using the term “differential diversification” from Singapore, I examine how the socio-political life of the pandemic is deeply entangled with the management of low-waged labour migrants. Techno-political discourses and practices of pandemic management accelerated the state’s attempts to differently include migrant workers, revealing the bare viscerality of biopolitics already in place prior to the pandemic. I argue that diversity is ordered through a striking co-production of migrant management and pandemic management. This paper draws upon government discourses to demonstrate that measures of pandemic management contribute not only to the spatial regime of migrant management. They also articulate and rationalise the subject transformation of the low-waged migrant to the extent that, on top of being a moral risk, they are also now a medical risk.

订购多样性：在 COVID-19 期间在新加坡共同生产大流行病和移民

在这个特殊和动荡的时期，管理措施告诉我们关于移民驱动的多样性的监管及其对到达城市的影响？使用来自新加坡的“差异化多元化”一词，我研究了大流行的社会政治生活如何与低薪劳工移民的管理密切相关。大流行管理的技术政治话语和实践加速了国家尝试以不同的方式将农民工纳入其中，揭示了大流行之前已经存在的生命政治的赤裸裸的内在本质。我认为多样性是通过移民管理和流行病管理的惊人共同生产来实现的。本文利用政府话语来证明，流行病管理措施不仅有助于移民管理的空间制度。
