SINGAPORE – The authorities have reminded entertainment outlet operators to continue to implement safe distancing measures if they are planning to hold farewell events on Wednesday (March 25) and Thursday.

They said that they are aware that some nightspots are planning to host potentially large-scale events that could see big groups of people congregating before they close for about a month from Thursday at 11.59pm.

“Events with 250 or more participants must be suspended, while operators of events with fewer than 250 participants must implement all necessary precautionary measures, including ensuring a distance of at least a metre,” said the Singapore Tourism Board, Enterprise Singapore and Singapore Police Force in a joint statement on Wednesday.

The agencies warned that they will deploy officers to monitor the situation and carry out enforcement action over the next two days.

“These safe distancing measures are enforceable,” they said.
