Masks optional, but vaccination differentiated measures to remain for F&B, large events, nightlife
SINGAPORE - While mask-wearing rules will be eased from Aug 29, vaccination-differentiated safe management measures will remain for food and beverage establishments, large events and nightlife venues.
Speaking at a multi-ministry task force press conference on Wednesday , Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said that businesses no longer check for vaccination status in settings like large events and F&B because the responsibility is placed on the individual and random spot checks are conducted by the authorities.
"But we are reviewing our vaccination policy to transit to a system where we keep our vaccinations up to date." "For that matter, there may well be future boosters, so we need a more enduring system to define to talk about vaccinations that are up to date, on an ongoing basis," said Mr Wong.
