SINGAPORE -- The government here is doubling down on its war against the coronavirus outbreak, earmarking 5.6 billion Singapore dollars (US$4 billion) to help businesses and households as the epidemic threatens to throw the city-state's trade-dependent economy into reverse.
Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat on Tuesday announced a slew of tax rebates and other financial breaks to help companies and individuals cope with the outbreak's fallout.
