SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Group size limits will go up to 10 people, and masks will no longer be mandatory in outdoor settings from Tuesday (March 29), as part of what Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called a decisive step forward towards living with Covid-19.

Up to 75 per cent of employees who can work from home will be allowed to return to their workplaces. And capacity limits for larger events and settings with more than 1,000 people will be increased to 75 per cent as well.
