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.

As with yesterday, there are no locally-transmitted cases.
All 7 cases were put on Stay-Home Notice upon arrival in Singapore, MOH said.
Yesterday, there were 4 cases of imports, who’d arrived from the following countries:
On Friday (6 Nov) the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) and the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) announced a pilot programme for nightlife establishments.
These places, which include pubs, karaoke places, nightclubs, will be subject to strict safe management measures.

Failure to adhere to them will result in the establishment being taken off the pilot.
Following 2 cases of Changi Airport workers testing positive for Covid-19, authorities announced that they’ll test all airport workers who come in contact with travellers.
A one-time test of about 5,000 workers revealed zero cases, they said in a statement on Friday (6 Nov).
Another 33 workers who couldn’t make it for the testing are temporarily suspended until they test negative.
Workers will continue to get routine testing every 2 weeks, from 1 Nov onwards.
MOH will provide more updates on the daily cases at night.
