SINGAPORE - Almost all SkillsFuture classes will take place virtually from Tuesday , in line with the heightened safe distancing measures that the Government announced last Friday.The Government had earlier announced wide-ranging closures of schools, workplaces and recreational venues, saying that a"circuit breaker" was needed to prevent the situation from worsening.

If allowed to carry on, lessons will have to adhere strictly to safe distancing measures stipulated by the Ministry of Manpower, such as making sure trainees will not have to travel during peak periods. For instance, more than 1,000 companies and 10,000 employees from the food services and retail sectors are set to benefit from a SkillsFuture package that co-pays workers' salaries with employers while they are sent for programmes, easing the burden on employers while upskilling workers.Little Gems Pre-school in Ang Mo Kio has been temporarily closed until April 14 after a teacher there tested positive.
