As Phase 2 Heightened Alert draws to an end, Singapore looks ready to ease safety restrictions from 14 Jun gradually.
On Thursday (10 Jun), the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced Singapore’s game plan to move to Phase 3 Heightened Alert in 4 days.
Some things we can look forward to are having larger social gathering sizes and dining in at eateries. Work from home, however, remains the default mode.
Here’s what you need to know about the eased safety restrictions happening over the next 2 weeks.
According to MOH, here are some of the key changes that will take place from 14 Jun:
MOH advises all residents to have no more than 2 social gatherings a day.
Meanwhile, most large-scale events that involve masses of people may accommodate up to 50 pax without pre-event testing, and up to 250 pax with pre-event testing.
Unfortunately, barbecue pits and campsites will remain closed in Phase 3 Heightened Alert.

The resumption of the activities below will only happen from 21 Jun:
There will be a 30-people limit, including the instruction, to sports classes held indoors and outdoors. But groups can only have up to 5 people.
Despite easing the aforementioned restrictions, MOH said working from home is still the default mode for now.
Employees who can work from home must continue to do so during this period of gradual reopening.
The aim is to cut down transmission risks by keeping overall footfall and public instructions low.
While many of these measures come as good news to Singaporeans, we mustn’t forget that Covid-19 remains a salient threat to our community.
As we look forward to gathering in larger groups and tucking into freshly cooked food at eateries, please be socially responsible.
Wear your mask properly, keep clean, and practise safe distancing.
