IF NEW Covid-19 cases continue to stay low, retail shops, consumer services, and venues such as sports facilities, stadiums, and swimming pools could reopen before the end of June, along with the lifting of a ban on dining in at food and beverage (F&B) outlets and social gatherings.
However, dining in at F&B outlets and social gatherings will be subject to group sizes being capped at five people, the Multi-Ministry Taskforce said on Thursday as Singapore reported no new Singaporean and permanent resident Covid-19 patients.
