Social gatherings and interactions at workplaces will not be allowed from Wednesday (8 September), the Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a statement on Monday.

“We have observed that the recent clusters in workplace settings have taken place because of lax safe management measures, especially in areas like staff canteens and pantries where people tend to let their guard down and interact amongst themselves without their masks on,” MOH said.Employers will be required to put in place a maximum Work-From-Home requirement over 14 days, should one or more of their workers be found to have contracted COVID-19 and have returned to their workplace.

MOH also strongly encourages all individuals, especially the vulnerable elderly or persons staying with elderly, to reduce their non-essential social activities for the next two weeks.
