Companies in Singapore that have traditionally relied on migrant workers from India and Bangladesh are now looking further afield for labour, Channel News Asia has reported quoting several firms.
However, they also said that they are just starting to explore the options, and to expect project delays and disruptions for the time being, said the CNA report published yesterday on its online.
From May 2, Singapore barred entry or transit for visitors with recent travel history to Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
This travel ban, which includes long-term pass holders, came amid a series of moves to tighten Singapore borders as the Covid-19 outbreak in India worsens and Singapore clocked more local coronavirus cases in recent weeks, the report said.
