SINGAPORE: The Workers' Party (WP) will resume physical meet-the-people sessions from next week in light of the recent easing of COVID-19 restrictions.
"Workers' Party MPs (Members of Parliament) in Aljunied GRC, Hougang SMC and Sengkang GRC will resume physical meet-the-people sessions with effect from Monday," said the party in a Facebook post on Friday (Aug 20).
It added that constituency teams will implement safe management measures on-site.
"Constituents are also encouraged to approach Workers' Party MPs via email and phone wherever possible," said the party.
In May, WP said it would postpone all meet-the-people sessions until further notice after the Government announced tighter COVID-19 restrictions in response to an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases.
Singapore entered a period of tighter community restrictions under Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) from May until June , and again from July to August .
Since Aug 10, restrictions have been eased to allow dining-in, social gatherings of up to five people and some larger events.
On Thursday, the Health Ministry said that it would go ahead with a planned second step of the easing of measures, given the stable COVID-19 situation.
