COVID-19: Phase two of post-circuit breaker reopening could begin before end-June, says Lawrence Wong

SINGAPORE: Phase Two of Singapore’s post-circuit breaker reopening could start before the end of June, Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong said on Thursday .

The Health and Trade and Industry ministries said at that time that businesses that operate in settings with lower transmission risks will be allowed to open. These include manufacturing firms and most offices. The authorities will begin to talk to businesses in this category to ensure they have the safeguards in place that can allow them to run again.
