To reduce the risk of a second wave of infection, Minister for Health, Gan Kim Yong, encouraged people to stay at home for as much as possible so that vulnerable seniors can be better protected. He announced that employers will also be required to implement safe management measures in the workplace setting and that telecommuting will remain as the default method. Administrative and office-related functions should be home based where possible. He emphasised that Singaporeans should continue to practise good habits and personal hygiene even as these restrictions are eased. He was speaking at the Multi-Ministry Taskforce press conference on 15 May.
