At a glance: Changes to COVID19 measures that take effect on Mar 15, from going back to the office, to VTL testing requirements

Wearing a mask will continue to be the default, said co-chair of the task force Lawrence Wong.

Zoning requirements will also be removed, since the “main protection” is through masks and COVID-19 vaccination, it added. These include attractions, cruises, MICE and large work-related events, as well as large performing arts venues and sports stadiums. “As economic activities pick up, we will also remove the specific restriction on cross-deployment of employees across workplaces, although employers may continue to do so for business continuity reasons,” the ministry added.

“Exactly when this will happen, it’s still early to say because the system is still very busy now, but as the curve comes down as the infection rate comes down, we will see some easing of the pressures on our healthcare system.
