The authorities issued an advisory yesterday (3 March) with regards to additional precautionary measures that are being put in place in view of the surge in the number of confirmed cases around the world – in particular Republic of Korea (South Korea), northern Italy and Iran. You may refer to the official advisory here.
Comply with Stay Home Notice (SHN) and Quarantine Orders (QO) issued by the authorities
- In addition to those returning from China, Daegu and Cheongdo, SHN will now be issued to Singaporeans, PRs and long-term pass holders with recent travel history (less than 14 days) to all of South Korea, northern Italy and Iran as well.
- We would like to remind reps to inform your Agency Leader immediately if you have been issued a SHN, and to complete this online form (14 day monitoring). Affected reps must comply with the SHN issued by the authorities, and remain in your place of residence at all times for the 14-day period after returning to Singapore.
- Reps who are issued with QOs must also alert your Agency Leader immediately and complete this online form (14 day monitoring).
14-day monitoring for reps to further limit exposure and risk
- In addition to SHN and QOs issued by the authorities, Income continues to place the following reps on 14-day monitoring as a precautionary measure to further limit our exposure and risk:
- Reps who have just returned to Singapore for less than 14 days from China, South Korea, northern Italy and Iran, as well as Hong Kong and Macau; and
- Reps who have had close contact with anyone who has arrived in Singapore for less than 14 days from China, South Korea, northern Italy and Iran, as well as Hong Kong and Macau.
- Reps who fall into any of these groups must inform your manager immediately, and complete this online form (14 day monitoring).
Defer all non-essential travel to China, South Korea, northern Italy, Iran and Japan
- Please heed the travel advisories issued by the authorities and reconsider all non-essential business and personal travel for the time being. In particular, reps are strongly encouraged to postpone their trips to China, South Korea, northern Italy, Iran and Japan.
- Reps must declare their upcoming travel plans by completing this online form (travel). Please also keep your Agency Leaders informed of your travel plans, including any cancellation or postponement to your trips.
Visitor restriction at Income premises
- Visitors to Income premises must continue to complete a health and travel declaration form. Visitors with a recent travel history to China, South Korea, northern Italy and Iran, as well as Hong Kong and Macau, within the last 14 days will not be allowed to enter Income premises.
- In addition, visitors who are unwell or exhibit respiratory symptoms will also be denied entry to Income’s premises.
Split-team operations to continue until further notice
- Income’s BCM team is monitoring the local and global COVID-19 situation closely. Income staff will continue with split-team operations until further notice. During this time, please continue to restrict your movement between Income offices.
- Please also continue to take your temperatures and submit readings twice daily via this online form (temperature). If unwell, please seek medical attention immediately even though you only display mild symptoms.
