A National Day Present

From 10 August, we can dine-in again at food establishments, coffee shops and hawker centres. It is a National Day present to the whole nation. The current restrictions of NO dining-in are to run until 18 August (from 22 July).

Dining-in is allowed for up to 5 fully vaccinated patrons at F&B establishments (other than coffee shops and hawker centres). People can dine-in together in groups of 2 at hawker centres and coffee shops regardless of vaccination status. The latter is a concession so that people can dine in lower cost eating places that are in an open-air environment. This is a risk-mitigated approach.

No dine-in is really a pain for people and it affects food outlets in a significant way.
