Singapore will ease further COVID-19 restrictions starting in October, authorities said last week.
This includes allowing up to 100 attendees at all worship services starting October 3, double the current limit of 50.
Live music can also be resumed at 16 religious organizations, as part of a Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) pilot program, while some places of worship may test services for up to 250 people.
The increased limit of 100 people will also apply to non-congregational religious activities, subject to the religious organization’s ability to adhere to safe distancing measures given its physical capacity, MCCY said.
However, the existing limits of 30 people for funeral-related activities and 50 people for religious classes will be maintained.
All congregational worship and religious services were suspended in March when Singapore tried to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.
They were allowed to resume in June, with up to 50 people at a time, in Phase 2 of the post-Singapore “breaker” reopening.
