Dining, social gathering rules relaxed to allow groups of 5 from Nov 22; JSS support tapered to 10%

GROUPS of up to 5 fully vaccinated people will be allowed to dine out together at food and beverage (F&B) establishments from Nov 22, even if they are not from the same household, the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced on Saturday (Nov 20).

Social gathering group sizes can also consist of up to 5 people from the current limit of 2 people from Nov 22. Each household will be allowed to have 5 distinct visitors per day, up from the current cap of 2.

This easing comes as Singapore's overall infection numbers and hospital situation have "largely stabilised and improved", said MOH.
