SINGAPORE – When workplace activities gradually resume after the circuit breaker lifts, the Government will need to put in place new guidelines and standards to ensure that they remain safe from potential Covid-19 outbreaks, National Development Minister Lawrence Wong said on Friday (May 1).
Speaking at a virtual press conference, Mr Wong said that these guidelines will build upon existing measures to ensure safe distancing in workplaces for workers in essential services, such as wearing masks at work or not having workers socialise among themselves.
These guidelines, which will be part of new workplace safety standards, will also be complemented by a testing regime as well as some form of technology that can ensure better tracking and monitoring should a confirmed case emerge in the workplace.
“These are a whole series of new protocols and measures that we are already planning, and we will put in place as we get nearer the end of the circuit breaker,” said Mr Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry taskforce tackling the Covid-19 outbreak.
