Coronavirus: S'pore takes steps toward a new normal amid the pandemic

SINGAPORE - Travellers who contract Covid-19 while on permitted essential travel will be able to tap financial support from Friday , while the majority of foreign workers living in dormitories are set to resume work by the end of this month.

Permitted schemes include bilateral arrangements with Malaysia and China, and any that may be implemented in future. But as the Government gradually reopens the country's borders, it will allow permitted Singaporean and PR travellers to tap government subsidies, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans for treatment.

"We have seen the experiences everywhere in the world... where so long as there is a lapse in the community or people do not observe the safe management practices carefully, these low levels of infection can suddenly flare up into large clusters anywhere, anytime," he cautioned. Mr Gan said:"With a right mindset and attitude, we can adapt and make the best of the situation, even if we need to continue with safe distancing measures."
