The recent rise in Covid-19 infections in the community has stopped the music before even the first note is struck - at least for the time being.
The pilots to allow a limited number of selected nightclubs and karaoke outlets to reopen with stringent safe management measures this month have been deferred until further notice, the Ministry of Trade and Industry and Ministry of Home Affairs announced yesterday.
SINGAPORE - Those hankering for a night out at karaoke outlets and nightclubs will have to wait, as pilot plans to allow for a limited number of nightlife establishments to open have been paused.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) announced on Tuesday (Jan 19) that to prevent the formation of Covid-19 clusters in high-risk settings, and to minimise risk of further community transmission, plans to reopen nightclubs and karaoke outlets specifically will be deferred until further notice.
Three bars and pubs under a similar pilot will be allowed to continue to operate for now.
