THE retail and food and beverage (F&B) sectors will need more wage support to stay afloat as the former group remains closed and the latter still restricted to takeaways in the first phase of Singapore's reopening, trade associations and industry watchers said.
The multi-ministry taskforce on Covid-19 said on Tuesday that certain industries including manufacturing and professional services would be allowed to reopen on June 2. However, most retailers will have to stay closed, and dining-in will remain prohibited at F&B establishments - for at least a few more weeks, as the Covid-19 situation stabilises.
