He didn't specify if it'll also apply to all outside dine-ins, including hawker centers and kopitiams.
Singapore will review its Covid-19 restrictions in early August, and ease some measures if virus clusters are under control and hospitalisation rates remain low.
But any loosened restrictions will only be extended to vaccinated individuals, who are "much better protected against the effects of the virus", Finance Minister Lawrence Wong said on Monday (July 26).
"This means that if you want to attend a large event or a religious service involving more than 100 persons, you have to be fully vaccinated," he told the House in a ministerial statement that gave an overview of the country's next steps in its pandemic response.
"If you want to go out to dine in a restaurant or work out in a gym, you have to be fully vaccinated," he added.
Mr Wong noted that by early August - the mid-point of the phase two (heightened alert) period - around two-thirds of Singapore's population would have received the full two doses and some three-quarters of seniors aged 70 and above would also have been vaccinated.
The country will be able to further ease restrictions around early September, when about 80 per cent of the population are expected to have gotten the full two doses of the vaccine.
