Retail outlets may open, dining in at F&B outlets will be permitted, and tuition and other private enrichment classes can resume with some exceptions.
Singapore exited a two-month long"circuit breaker" designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 on Jun 1. The multi-ministry task force said at the time that Singapore would reopen in three phases, outlining what might be allowed under each phase.On Monday, the authorities said Phase 2 will involve the resumption of “most activities”, subject to safe distancing principles.
READ: Transition to a 'new normal' after circuit breaker: How will measures be lifted beyond Phase 1?Small-group social gatherings of up to any five persons can resume. Within the home, households may receive up to five visitors at any one time.Food and beverage dine-in will be allowed, with up to five persons allowed to sit together. Tables must be spaced one metre apart. Outlets will have to cease liquor sales and consumption at 10.30pm.
Larger public venues with high human traffic such as malls and large standalone retail outlets will be subject to capacity limits, and operators will be required to prevent crowds or long queues from building up within and in the immediate vicinity of their premises.As a default, measures should be put in place to ensure that individuals maintain safe distancing of at least one metre at all times, MOH said.
In settings run by permitted businesses, such as for F&B dining in or classes where individuals come together for activities, the one metre safe distancing requirement may be waived only if each group is made up of not more than five persons, and subject to overall safe management measures as indicated earlier, the spokesperson added.
In Phase 2, the authorities’ goal is to ensure that efforts taken during the circuit breaker period and Phase 1 of reopening are sustained, MOH said.
