SINGAPORE – From Oct 1, large cinema halls with more than 300 seats will be allowed to admit up to 150 patrons in three zones of 50 patrons each.
Other, smaller cinema halls will also be allowed to increase their capacity to 50 per cent of their original operating capacity or maintain the current limit of up to 50 patrons per hall, subject to safe management measures.
Cinemas had previously been allowed to open with the 50-patron limit and a 1m social distancing seating configuration on July 13, after having been closed since March 27.
Restrictions on cinema hall capacity are among a range of measures set to be eased and that were announced by the multi-ministry task force tackling Covid-19 in a press conference on Wednesday (Sept 23).
