SINGAPORE: Another S$5.1 billion has been earmarked to help Singapore weather the COVID-19 crisis in a third support package announced by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat on Monday (Apr 6).
Called the Solidarity Budget, it is aimed at saving jobs and protecting livelihoods during the four weeks when schools and non-essential businesses have to be shut as part of the “circuit breaker” distancing measures that will kick in from Tuesday.
