Employers urged to step up flexi-hours to ease crowding risk

Singapore

EMPLOYERS are urged to introduce flexi-working hours so that workers can travel during off-peak hours and help reduce the risk of crowding, as Singapore looks into letting more people return safely to the workplace.

The call came on Wednesday from Lawrence Wong, co-chairman of the multi-ministry task force (MTF) to deal with the spread of the coronavirus, when it was also announced that seniors in group of five can resume group activities like exercises and board game. But singing classes will not be allowed.
