COVID-19 UPDATE: A message from the CEO
Dear Patron,
Hope you are safe and well. On Friday last week, the Government laid out additional measures to control community transmission of COVID-19. We are hopeful that these measures will bring us back to normal times sooner, rather than later.
In support of these developments, we are taking additional steps to ensure a safe environment for all customers and service providers. For the period between 7th April 2020 and 4th May 2020 (the “Circuit Breaker” period), the following will be applicable:
Cleaning & Cooking temporarily suspended
The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and Ministry of Manpower (MOM) have confirmed to us today that during the period of 7th April 2020 to 4th May 2020, all home cleaning & cooking activities will be temporarily suspended.
You can still post jobs for 5th May 2020 and onwards. All cleaning and cooking jobs will resume from 5th May 2020.
Recurring and ad-hoc jobs scheduled within the Circuit Breaker period will be paused and completed 5th May 2020 onwards. Please email us at info@sendhelper.com to let us now your new preferred dates.
