FROM fast-food chains to gyms to bank branches, Covid-related absenteeism is disrupting business operations across the island, resulting in temporary closures and reduced services.
Ritual Gym's Orchard branch, for instance, had to shut down for 4 hours last Sunday (Feb 20) as there were not enough coaches to conduct its high-intensity interval training workouts.
Meanwhile, UOB has had to temporarily close branches or parts of its branches due to staffing issues, such as its VivoCity branch, which was shut from Feb 22 to 24.
