Dine-in restrictions to ease by July 12

Groups of five can dine together in F&B establishments starting next week.

More Singaporeans can soon dine together in groups of five, Finance Minister Lawrence Wong announced.

“We expect to open up further from 12 July to allow larger groups of five people to dine together,” Wong said in a ministerial statement, Monday.

Currently, dining-in at food and beverage (F&B) establishments have been restricted to groups of two people. This was amongst the measures implemented to curb the spread of COVID-19.

“These additional measures have worked in curbing the spread of the virus, while allowing most parts of the economy to continue operating,” Wong said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
