While the groups were split and sat on 2 separate tables, they were caught intermingling.

The restaurant was hence ordered to close for 10 days, from 6-15 Oct.

At the other restaurant, customers were reportedly seen consuming alcohol at 11.40pm, more than 1 hour after the stipulated 10.30pm ban.

The eatery was similarly ordered to close for 10 days from 3-12 Oct.

21 diners fined $300 each

MSE also announced that 21 diners were fined $300 each for breaching safe management rules.

Such offences include failure to wear a mask after consuming food and drinks, as well as sitting in groups of more than 5.

Just over the weekend, an MSE spokesperson stressed the importance of putting on masks after meals.

Cannot afford to let our guards down

We’re heartened by MSE’s vigilance in dealing with violators of the safe management measures.

Though the Covid-19 situation seems to be improving in Singapore, we cannot afford to let our guards down and risk having infections soar again.

Let’s all do our part to minimise the risk of Covid-19 infections. Together, we can see through these difficult times as a country.
