The main points in Singapore s recovery plan from the Covid-19 crisis
1 BOOSTING COVID-19 DEFENCES
An $11 billion Covid-19 Resilience Package will focus on immediate and ongoing recovery efforts to tackle the pandemic.
Of this sum, $4.8 billion goes towards public health and safe reopening measures, including testing, clinical management and contact tracing, and vaccination for everyone living in Singapore.
Another $700 million goes to extending the Jobs Support Scheme to help firms retain workers, but support will gradually taper off. The hardest-hit sectors, such as aviation and tourism that now get 50 per cent wage support, will see this lowered to 30 per cent for April to June, and 10 per cent for July to September. Sectors like food services and retail, currently getting 30 per cent support, will see this reduced to 10 per cent for April to June.
