SINGAPORE: A range of measures are in place to help people who have been affected by construction work delays due to the COVID-19"circuit breaker", said Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong in Parliament on Tuesday .
The ministry is also working with serviced apartment operators, some of whom have agreed to offer subsidised rates to home owners who need temporary accommodation. In the “worst case” scenario, interim rental flats will be offered to"those who are really urgent and have difficulties", said Mr Wong. In response to Ms Lim’s supplementary question on when construction and renovation work for individual households can resume, Mr Wong reiterated that the Building and Construction Authority will consider allowing such projects to resume, if contractors have the necessary safety requirements in place from Jun 2.
