Some COVID-19 restrictions in Singapore were eased on Monday amid a decline in community cases.
From Monday, dining-in at food and beverage outlets will be allowed for groups of up to five, while wedding receptions can be held with no more than 250 people if pre-event testing is in place.
Gyms and fitness studios can conduct indoor high-intensity mask-off sports and exercise activities in groups of up to five from Monday. Social gatherings at the workplace can also resume, although working from home remains the default arrangement, said MOH.
