Organisers of upcoming events with 250 participants or more have been urged to cancel or defer them in light of the Covid-19 situation.
But if the events have already been committed to, they will only be allowed to proceed if satisfactory precautionary measures are put in place.
This is to reduce the risk of local transmission, as part of its updated advisory on social distancing measures announced yesterday (March 13) by Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong and Minister for National Development Lawrence Wong, who chair the multi-ministry task force on tackling the virus.
New requirements and advisories for gatherings, workplaces and public venues were also introduced.
For all other mass gatherings, including religious services and private functions, organisers are advised to reduce the scale to below 250 participants, reduce crowding, improve ventilation, and advise participants to reduce contact with others.
Organisers should also have in place temperature and health screening, turning away of unwell persons, and measures to facilitate contact tracing, such as obtaining participants’ contact details.
