They should also “strongly advise customers to visit no more than one nightlife establishment per night, in view of public health considerations associated with COVID-19”, said the ministries. The venues must also implement TraceTogether-only SafeEntry as well as deploy and activate closed-circuit television cameras at all times and keep recordings for at least 28 days. In addition to complying with prevailing safe distancing rules and workplace safe management measures, the three venues have to ensure that customers, visitors and workers do not provide or condone hostessing services and that interactions between staff members and customers are no longer than what is “ordinarily necessary” to serve food and drinks or to accept payment. The nightlife business associations were allowed to nominate suitable outlets to participate in the pilot programme. Interested outlets had to submit proposals to the Singapore Nightlife Business Association or the Singapore River One association on how they intend to reopen safely, including their plans to implement the required COVID-19 safety measures.
