SINGAPORE – Marriage solemnisations, wakes and funerals can be attended by more guests from Aug 4, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Thursday (July 30).
Since the beginning of phase two on June 19, marriage solemnisations have been allowed to take place with up to 20 people, excluding the solemniser.
But from Aug 4, this will be expanded to 50 people, including the couple getting married, said MOH.
The new figure excludes the solemniser and vendor staff for the event but MOH said they should be kept to a minimum. This will apply to venues such as places of worship, common areas of housing blocks and other external venues.
Guests should be split into fixed groups of up to five people each, with no intermingling or mixing between groups, and a 1m safe distance maintained between groups. But a designated “wedding party” group comprising up to 20 people, including the bride and groom, is allowed.
While up to 20 people may be present at any one time for wakes and funerals currently, up to 30 may be present from Aug 4.
MOH said that this would facilitate more family members and friends paying their last respects.
