In a press release on Friday , MOM said the extension will be for three months starting from March 1.

This is in addition to existing measures where companies may be barred from employing new foreign employees for up to three months. On the other hand, the monthly average number of fatalities for the transportation and storage sector did not improve and the major injuries worsened during the same period.
