Retail, F&B 'elated' over possibility of earlier reopening, but see uphill recovery
Task force had earlier said F&B dine-in, retail opening will come about 4-6 weeks after Phase One starts

The Multi-Ministry Taskforce on Covid-19 said on Thursday that Phase Two of Singapore's reopening could happen before the end of June, although this would depend on the level of community spread of the virus.
