SEVEN COFFEE SHOPS TO ALLOW GROUPS OF 5 DINERS
The agencies also announced that seven coffee shops that have implemented the necessary control measures will similarly be allowed to have groups of five diners from Tuesday.
The coffee shops are: Barfood & Co, Goodyear Restaurant, Qi Yiang, B4RI, The Patio, Satay By The Bay and Makansutra Gluttons.
Coffee shops refer to premises with SFA coffee shop, eating house or canteen licences that are not substantially enclosed by a permanent barrier.
As part of the requirements, they must have dedicated entry points where vaccination checks are done. Access to their premises must be controlled by cordoning off areas, and operators should ensure that access to common areas is not obstructed.
Singapore is easing some COVID-19 restrictions from Monday as infection numbers fall. Apart from relaxing curbs on dining out, limits on social gatherings and household visits will also be increased from two to five people.
Authorities warned that enforcement action will be taken against coffee shops that allow groups of five to dine in without having the required measures in place.
“Safe distancing enforcement officers and ambassadors deployed by SFA will continue to conduct regular checks at all coffee shops to ensure that VDS (vaccination-differentiated safe management measures) and other safe management measures are observed,” said the agencies.
“NEA and SFA seek the understanding and cooperation of patrons on mandatory checks on vaccination status at hawker centres and coffee shops under the adjusted vaccination-differentiated safe management measures.”
The agencies also encouraged seniors to minimise dining at hawker centres and coffee shops, and to opt for takeaway food instead.
