7 Covid-19 Cases On 7 Nov
There’s a chance that we can get clubbing and karaoke back soon, but there’ll be many measures in place.
These include Covid-19 tests before entering the premises, and frequent spot-checks by authorities.
However, these are things we’ll have to get used to in a ‘new normal’. Face masks aren’t going away, and they’ve likely helped in curbing the spread of Covid-19.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said that there are 7 new Covid-19 cases on Saturday (7 Nov), all imported.
As with yesterday, there are no locally-transmitted cases.

These places, which include pubs, karaoke places, nightclubs, will be subject to strict safe management measures.
