SINGAPORE – A total of 23 food and beverage outlets were caught flouting Covid-19 safe management measures during stepped-up checks by government agencies over the weekend.
Many of these breaches involved groups of more than five people seated together or mingling between tables, as well as serving and consuming alcohol past 10.30pm, the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) said in a statement on Tuesday (Sept 15).
A total of 149 F&B outlets in known hot spots were inspected over the weekend. Police officers were also involved in the checks.
The MSE said that the agencies are reviewing the breaches and “appropriate enforcement actions will be taken, including temporary closure of the outlets and the issuance of fines”.
This comes after Education Minister Lawrence Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry Covid-19 task force, said last Wednesday that enforcement agencies will be stepping up checks on F&B outlets that flout Covid-19 rules.
