More people to be allowed back to workplaces, essential business travel pilot to be launched

SINGAPORE - Safe distancing rules will be eased and more activities allowed to resume in the coming weeks, as the number of Covid-19 cases in the community has remained low, said Health Minister Gan Kim Yong on Wednesday .

Events within the workplace, such as seminars, corporate retreats and annual general meetings will also be allowed to resume, as long as safe-distancing measures are in place. However, work-related events at external venues remain prohibited for now. From Oct 3, all religious organisations will be allowed to conduct congregational and other worship services for up to 100 persons, as long as safe-distancing measures are in place.

Voluntary coronavirus testing of taxi and private-hire car drivers has also started, with more than 10,000 tested so far, Mr Gan said. Around 750 stallhoders and food delivery personnel have also been tested. No positive cases were reported in these groups, he added.
