Bhai,
Fortunately, I am only "working" from home.
SINGAPORE: From Jan 1, only employees who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have recovered from the disease within the past 270 days will be allowed to return to workplaces, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Saturday (Oct 23).
Unvaccinated employees will not be allowed to return to their workplaces unless they have tested negative for COVID-19. These employees will bear the costs of testing.
The tests should be administered at MOH-approved providers and must be valid for the duration that the employees are required to be at their workplaces. Negative antigen rapid test results are valid for 24 hours.
Employers are "strongly encouraged" to give special consideration to employees who are pregnant or medically ineligible for vaccines.
For employees who are medically ineligible for all the vaccines under the national vaccination programme, including the Sinovac jab, they will be exempted from the vaccination requirement if they need to work on-site, said MOH and the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
