Come January 1 2022, employees who are fully vaccinated or recovered within 270 days can return back to their workplace, says the Ministry of Health.
Those that are unvaccinated are still not allowed to return back to their office unless they have tested negative prior to their return and costs for such tests will be borne by the unvaccinated employees.
They can only take these tests at MOH approved test providers and it must be valid for the whole duration that these employees are at the workplaces.
These negative results are valid for 24 hours.
Nobody, including the pregnant and the medically unfit would be exempted from these tests.
Special considerations will however be given to such groups like allowing them to continue to work from home and coming to a reasonable consensus on sharing the costs for the tests.
Activities for seniors to resume
The People’s Association (PA) said that they will start to organise activities for seniors who are fully vaccinated in accordance to the safe management measures in place.
It would be held at certain specific sites and timings.
MOH added that it is doing so as it is important that the seniors keep themselves active and engaged to maintain their physical and mental health.
Details will be announced by the PA at a later timing.
