On 23 October 2021, the Ministry of Manpower (“MOM”) announced that from 1 January 2022, employers must ensure that unvaccinated employees do not return to the work place unless they have a negative Pre-Event Testing result. On the same day, the Tripartite partners also issued an updated advisory on COVID-19 vaccination at the workplace to provide guidance to employers in response to MOM’s new guidelines (“Updated Advisory”).
This update sets out a summary of the Updated Advisory. The full terms of the Updated Advisory can be found here.
