    FOOD and beverage (F&B) and retail players in Singapore's central business district (CBD) were dealt a heavy blow when the month-long work-from-home directive kicked off on Monday.

    Working from home will be the default for employees who are able to do so from Sept 27 to Oct 24, as part of another round of tightened Covid-19 measures in a bid to keep the rising daily infections under control.

    This comes just as the office crowds were beginning to trickle back into the CBD since measures were relaxed in August to allow up to a maximum of 50 per cent of employees at workplaces.
