SINGAPORE: The Singapore Government on Sunday (May 3) said companies with employees who can work from home will probably have to continue doing so even after the country’s partial lockdown ends on June 1.

Others in sectors such as manufacturing, which require workers to be onsite, should start making preparations for the gradual re-opening of the economy in coming weeks, Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing told reporters on Sunday.
