Eateries are gearing up for the festive season by implementing a host of measures that will accommodate customers in a safe way.
Some restaurants are hiring more staff to ensure customers adhere to safe management measures, while others are putting up more visual reminders, such as posters, about Covid-19 regulations.
Under current rules that will remain in effect until Sunday, social gatherings in groups of more than five are not allowed outside an individual s residence.

SINGAPORE: Local F&B establishments have welcomed Singapore s move to allow bigger social gatherings in Phase 3 of its reopening, following a circuit breaker period that saw most businesses shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ministry of Health announced on Monday (Dec 14) that social gatherings of up to eight people will be allowed when Phase 3 begins on Dec 28.

Even as Singapore moves into phase three of its reopening on Dec 28, enforcement against those who flout the rules will not let up, warned Education Minister Lawrence Wong yesterday.
