SINGAPORE (May 15): Singapore’s construction sector will gradually resume operations, starting with critical projects once the circuit breaker ends on Jun 1.

The move comes as most construction work has been suspended during the circuit breaker following a high incidence of Covid-19 cases amongst workers from the industry.

Migrant workers from the construction sector had also been issued a 28-day stay home notice from Apr 20, in a bid to curb transmission of the virus.
