“We are prepared to extend the same concession to hawker centres and coffee shops once they have put in place additional control measures,” said MOH while adding that food and beverage outlets need to be able to conduct comprehensive checks to ensure that diners are from the same household.
The National Environment Agency and Singapore Food Agency will engage the hawkers’ associations and coffee shop operators on this and further updates will be given when they are ready, according to the ministry.
Additionally, food and beverage outlets will once again be allowed to play “soft recorded music” from Wednesday. However, live music and entertainment will continue to remain banned for the time being.
Social gatherings and visits to other households will also continue to be limited to two people.
