SINGAPORE: Authorities ordered a bar in Clarke Quay to close temporarily, for the second time, after it was found to be in breach of COVID-19 security measures again.
On October 10, agents found a group of eight clients in Los Amigos violating safe management measures, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said in a press release.

“This is not the first time that enforcement actions have been taken against Los Amigos for violations of security management measures,” said URA.
In July, Los Amigos was fined and ordered to close for 10 days. Despite this, URA said “multiple and repeated breaches” of security measures were still found.
“The operator has been informed that this is unacceptable,” the authority said.
Los Amigos was ordered to close for 20 days, starting October 21.

Two other food and beverage outlets in the Boat Quay area were also found to be in violation of COVID-19 safety measures and fined S $ 1,000 each.
Both the Forum Seafood Village restaurant and Xiang Signature allowed a group of more than five customers to enter their restaurants, URA said.

URA said action has been taken against errant customers, with 13 people fined S $ 300 each.
“We urge clients to be socially responsible and observe safety management measures,” said URA.
He added that he will not hesitate to take coercive actions against both employers and operators who do not comply with the measures.
