Snap 14-day WFH for firms if infected workers are in office in past week

Singapore

FIRMS with employees who were in the workplace at any time in the seven days prior to testing positive for Covid-19 must require all employees able to do so to work from home (WFH) for 14 days.

Employers must also take active steps to guard against potential outbreaks at the workplace by requiring workers on MCs to closely monitor their health before returning to the office, and to ensure, where possible, that their workers visit only one clinic should they feel unwell, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said on Tuesday.
