    ADDITIONAL Covid-19 support measures for Singapore's "Heightened Alert" period are expected to cost S$1.2 billion.

    This will be financed by a reallocation of monies previously budgeted for, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said in Parliament on Monday as he introduced a Supplementary Supply Bill for this.
