A nightclub in the Concorde shopping center, where hostesses mingled with customers, was among four food and beverage outlets that were ordered to close for violating Covid-19 security measures.
Club One Min, which advertises itself as a dance club and disco on its Facebook page, was found to have allowed gatherings of more than eight people and provided hostesses who mingled with customers last Friday.
The Singapore Tourism Board ordered its closure for 20 days until March 11.
The store was previously closed for 10 days from December 20 last year to allow groups of more than eight to gather.
Three restaurants (Booth 8 at Food Park Cafe on Bedok South, Jin Jin Eating House on North Bridge Road, and 200 HCM Food on Joo Chiat Road) were ordered to close after allowing diners to consume alcohol after 10.30pm
The Singapore Food Agency ordered the closure of stall 8 from last Friday to Sunday, while the Urban Redevelopment Authority ordered Jin Jin and 200 HCM Food to close from Tuesday to March 4.
Another 13 restaurants, including Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck in Paragon and Shi Li Fang in Orchard Central, were fined $ 1,000 each for infractions involving groups of diners less than a meter apart and they couldn’t help but mix.
The Ministry of Sustainability and Environment (MSE) said yesterday that the breaches had been detected during intensified inspections in the Chinese New Year period.
“The government takes the violations by the operator seriously and the investigations are ongoing,” the MSE added.
A total of 234 people were also fined $ 300 each for violating Covid-19 measures in parks and beaches during the past two weekends.
At Changi Beach Park, 76 people were fined, including 20 who were caught gathered in a group, the MSE said.
Increased checks on restaurants, parks, shopping malls and other hot spots will continue this weekend, MSE said, noting that social interactions are likely to increase as the Chinese New Year draws to a close on the 15th, or chap goh mei, tomorrow.
He urged the public to continue to adhere to the Covid-19 measures and to plan visits to popular places during off-peak hours.
