SINGAPORE: Most workplaces will be closed from next Tuesday (April 7) and all schools will move to full home-based learning a day later, as Singapore puts in place a "circuit breaker" to pre-empt escalating Covid-19 (coronavirus) infections, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

Except for key economic sectors and essential services - such as food establishments, markets and supermarkets, clinics, hospitals, utilities, transport and key banking services - all other work premises will close, said PM Lee on Friday (April 3) in an address to the nation on the Covid-19 situation.
