According to the Ministry of Health over 400 nightlife establishments that “became” food and beverage (F&B) outlets will face suspensions for at least 2 weeks from 16 July 2021.
Within the community, MOH detected a number of clusters in multiple KTV lounges or nightclubs that had pivoted to operate as Food & Beverage (F&B) establishments.
This came after a worrying KTV cluster disrupted the lives of many and the ministry is doing as much as it can to curb the spread of COVID-19.
There are over 400 such establishments, and they will be individually notified about the suspension. During this period, MOH will test all the staff of these establishments. We will also inspect the SMM protocols in these establishments, and ensure these are properly implemented before they are allowed to resume F&B operations
Back after 30 July 2021
After the two weeks suspension, they are required to be inspected and fit safety measures before allowing to reopen.
