MSE said 36 people were also fined S $ 300 each for disobeying COVID-19 safe handling measures.
“We must not become complacent and we must remain vigilant; otherwise, our individual and collective sacrifices over the past year will be in vain, ”said MSE.
MSE added that food and beverage establishments must ensure that diners do not mix between groups and tables. The current five-person group size limit will apply until December 27.
Large groups also should not be divided into multiple tables and F&B operators cannot accept such bookings unless all group members are from the same household. Alcoholic beverages must also be finished before 10:30 PM.
“Wear your masks while waiting for your food and drinks to arrive and put them on immediately after you finish eating and drinking. Remind those around you to do the same. This will protect you, as dining out is an activity that involves considerable risks, ”said MSE.

MSE also advised members of the public to avoid visiting shopping malls, supermarkets, post offices, and stadiums during peak hours. Safe distancing ambassadors and law enforcement officers will continue to be deployed throughout Singapore to remind members of the public to adhere to the COVID-19 guidelines.
“A resurgence of infections as seen in other countries would have devastating effects on Singapore’s lives and livelihoods. The cooperation of individuals and businesses will help safeguard public health, while allowing businesses to remain open.
“Together, our collective efforts will determine whether we can successfully transition to Phase 3 and a new normal,” added MSE.
