1. Nightlife businesses will be allowed to fully reopen from April 19
Clubbing is finally back on the agenda with the announcement that all nightlife businesses including nightclubs and discotheques will be allowed to fully reopen from April 19, according to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in a joint media release on April 4.
That said, all nightlife establishments will be subjected to safe management measures. For example, if guests are entering an establishment with dancing as an activity, they have to get a negative Antigen Rapid Test (ART) that has been supervised by a test provider approved by the Ministry of Health either in-person or remotely.
“The patron must get tested before the start of his/her visit; and at most 24 hours before the end of the attendance at the event or activity,” said MTI and MHA.
Nightlife establishments will also have to ensure that groups remain at 10 people and that mask-wearing indoors is observed. There should also be safe distancing of at least one meter between individuals or groups when masks are off.
