When Singapore transited from Phase 1 to Phase 2, more businesses were allowed to resume operations, though they were advised to ensure that work from home remained the default setting.
The same advisory remains in place even in Phase 3, according to the tripartite partners, which comprise The Ministry of Manpower (MOM), National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF).
In a joint statement, the three partners said that work-from-home (WFH) should remain the default arrangement at workplaces, to minimise the risk of Covid-19 transmission at the workplace.
This is because adjustments to the prevailing Safe Management Measures (SMMs) have been postponed, due to recent trends in Covid-19 cases in the community including cases at workplaces as well as potentially more transmissible strains of Covid-19 in Singapore.

The event took on an online/offline hybrid format, with the live segment hosted at Marina Bay Sands Singapore, with support from the Singapore Tourism Board. Safe Management Measures for MICE Events, which includes Antigen Rapid Tests, zoning arrangements for attendees and safe distancing, was implemented.
