This follows enforcement action taken against 18 outlets, which the ministry announced on Sep 17.
As there are still "a minority" of outlets that continue to breach the rules, "the Government will continue to step up enforcement checks at F&B outlets around Singapore to ensure that they remain safe spaces for all", said MSE.
