The same day, Singaporean authorities said they could force companies to suspend operations if they do not do more to ensure employees can work from home to reduce the risk of coronavirus infections.
"If we assess that a company has not made a serious enough effort to implement telecommuting, we may have to issue a stop work order," Minister for Manpower Josephine Teo said.
