The government is introducing additional anti-Covid-19 measures harking back to “Phase 2”, as the number of unlinked community cases continue to rise, heightening risks of another outbreak if not curbed in time.

With effect from May 8 through May 30, social gatherings will be capped at five, down from eight now. The number of distinct visitors to other households will be capped at five as well.

Also, employers must ensure that no more than 50% of employees who are able to work from home return to the workplace at any time – down from 75% now.
