Since the introduction of the circuit breaker, many renovation and construction projects are forced to stop. Only those critical infrastructure that concern safety issues are allowed to continue.

According to a press release by the Building Construction Authority (BCA), these constructions and renovations will slowly be allowed to resume their operations starting from 02 Jun 2020. However, approvals are required from the BCA before companies can resume their work.

Additional measures and control is introduced to keep the current COVID-19 situation under control and to prevent a second wave of outbreak among construction workers.

Employers are required to make sure that their workforce, workplace and transport are COVID-Safe before they are allowed to resume their operations.

The government is currently reviewing whether to allow people to visit their relatives after June 1 when the circuit breaker measures are lifted.

“We recognise that many people would like to visit their family members,” said National Development Minister Lawrence Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry task force tackling the coronavirus outbreak.

“Many parents and grandparents miss their children and grandchildren,” he added, stating that video calls are not the same as being physically present. The authorities understand this desire to be physically connected again, he said.

“While we would like to allow them to see one another… we have to be quite cautious in moving on such a measure. “Particularly when it comes to the elderly, because we all know that they are vulnerable, and if they were to catch the virus, the disease is potentially lethal for them.” Mr Wong spoke on this current issue at a virtual press conference yesterday.
