Dragon dances cancelled, lion dancers only allowed at certain venues due to Covid-19 restrictions
There will be fewer dancing animals to welcome the Year of the Ox.
Dragon dances are cancelled and lion dancers cannot perform at many public spaces this year due to Covid-19 restrictions.
These are among stricter infection control measures for lion dance troupes this Chinese New Year, announced by the Singapore Wushu Dragon and Lion Dance Federation on Sunday.
