Dine-in at Singapore F&B places capped at 2 per group from 21 June
SINGAPORE — Dining-in at food and beverage establishments will continue to resume from next Monday (21 June), but only in groups of two.
This means that a group of more than two diners who are not from the same household is not allowed to dine-in together at these establishments, even if they are split across multiple tables, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Friday.
Finance Minister Lawrence Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry taskforce on COVID-19, told a virtual media briefing that a family of more than two will be allowed to dine in, “but they have to make very clear that they are from the same household”. They must also be split across different tables and observe a one-metre distance.
But barring another superspreader event or big cluster, such activities can increase to group sizes of up to five persons from mid-July, said the MOH.
While the initial plan was to allow dining-in for groups of five from 21 July, Wong explained that the recent infection cluster at Bukit Merah View, which has now grown to 56 cases as of Thursday, has led the MTF to "adjust our plans".
Alluding to two schools of thought on the matter, Wong noted that some felt the reopening should be pushed back to a much later date till there are consistently "near-zero" new COVID cases, while others felt Singapore should proceed as planned and "not overreact to each and every new cluster".
"We do want to proceed with our reopening more confidently, but our vaccination rates currently are still not high enough to provide sufficient protection," said Wong, who said that authorities are not adopting either approach.
"Instead, we are treading a very careful path forward based on a rigorous assessment of our current situation. And hence, we have decided to break up the reopening into two steps. And our main objective with this staged reopening is to buy time, so that we can continue to speed up our vaccination programme."
Recorded music not allowed
To further mitigate the risk of transmission from patrons talking loudly, recorded music will not be allowed in F&B establishments, in addition to the current restrictions on videos or TV screening and live entertainment at F&B establishments, said the MOH.Wong also warned that enforcement will be stepped up. "We will take strict enforcement actions against any establishment that breaches these rules because they will really put everyone at risk."
Wedding receptions, where attendees tend to socialise more and over a longer period of time, will remain prohibited until mid-July.
Gyms and fitness studios may resume indoor mask-off sports or exercise activities in group sizes of up to two and in classes of up to 30 persons including the instructor, with safe distancing of at least 2m between individuals and 3m between groups.
For mask-on activities and outdoor mask-off activities, these can continue in groups of no more than five persons, in classes of up to 30 persons including the instructor, said the MOH, adding that SportSG will release more details on this measure.
Just saw from this thread that dining in from same household should be up to 4 people. If 5 and above, may have to takeaway.

I guess what they are trying to do now is to limit the risk of transmission across multiple households, if they allow too many people from different households to dine.
If you asked me, the really stupid part was when PAP took sooooooo long to close the borders to India, when the situation was so serious there and almost every other country had already closed their borders.
This is why jewellery items have to be worn as often as possible when one is alive.
Means 2 adults 2 child should be okJust saw from this thread that dining in from same household should be up to 4 people. If 5 and above, may have to takeaway.

But the problem is the venues eg hawker centre may be have seats tape everywhere except 2 seats. So how to family get to sit together.
Is this a joke???
Government rules very confusing
Strictly based on the guidance, it appears that 1 adult and 1 child may have to sit at one table and 1 adult and 1 child at another table. At hawker centres, it may depend on how the seats are marked out. Might as well takeaway if it is so complicated.
So are siamese twins considerd as one person or two ? Do they have two ICs or just one ?
No idea how siamese twins are regarded, but I'm sure the authorities will be lenient to them.
That's why better take away because no point so many restrictions for dining out.Strictly based on the guidance, it appears that 1 adult and 1 child may have to sit at one table and 1 adult and 1 child at another table.

But Lawrence Wong said F&B need businesses to survive
Lawrence Wong is talking cock. The silly measure is like strangling a person and then asking him to breathe hard at the same time.
For 2 child,bring your own portable chair.
If there is no dining in, many people will cook instead of calling food delivery or going to takeaway. No dining in will cause many F&B businesses to close.
PAP are fumbling and bumbling now, ordering mandatory covid tests for anyone who visited a mall with a positive case means that there will be long queues waiting to be tested. Originally ok go and squeeze with a bunch of people, you only need one positive case there to get the whole lot infected.
Sinkies are dumb fuckers. They just love crowded malls. The circulating air-con inside makes the Wuhan virus more easily pervasive.PAP are fumbling and bumbling now, ordering mandatory covid tests for anyone who visited a mall with a positive case means that there will be long queues waiting to be tested.

The dumbest are those who go and form long queues on the opening days at places like Ikea.
Probably because the weather outdoors is too hot
