Singapore

PRUDENTIAL Singapore has disbursed over half of its S$1.5 million Covid-19 relief package in cash benefits since the package was introduced in February, with a vast majority paid out as quarantine benefits.

More than S$800,000 has been disbursed thus far to more than 1,000 people, with 80 per cent of the sum paid as one-time cash benefits of S$500 to customers and their immediate family members who were served quarantine orders. The remainder was paid out in the form of daily hospitalisation allowance, chief executive officer Dennis Tan shared in a briefing of the company's new digital health app on Monday.
