Three more food and beverage establishments were ordered to close and four others were fined for violating COVID-19 rules, the Ministry of Sustainability and Environment (MSE) said on Tuesday.
This follows enforcement actions taken against 18 outlets, which the ministry announced on September 17.
As there are still “a minority” of outlets that continue to break the rules, “the Government will continue to intensify compliance checks at Singapore’s food and beverage outlets to ensure they remain safe spaces for all,” said MSE. .
