Singapore will temporarily close hundreds of nightlife venues and re-enforce stricter measures for dining-in just days after relaxing them, as a jump in daily Covid-19 cases linked to karaoke outlets deals a setback to the city’s efforts to reopen.
The country will impose different restrictions on the local population based on their vaccination status, according to details released at a multi-ministry task force briefing on Friday, while ministers warned that further restrictions may be necessary if daily cases continue to rise.
