    NIGHTLIFE businesses are set to stage a comeback this month after being shuttered for more than 2 years due to the pandemic, but even as industry players are hastily making plans to reopen, they remain concerned about manpower shortages and the need for supervised antigen rapid testing (ART).

    From Apr 19, all nightlife businesses, including bars, pubs, karaoke establishments, discotheques and nightclubs in Singapore will be permitted to fully reopen.
