Covid-19 measures will be tightened from Thursday (July 22) to August 18, as Singapore goes back to Phase 2 (heightened alert) to stem the recent spike in community cases. In a virtual press conference on Tuesday (July 20) by the multi-ministry task force on Covid-19, Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong said dining in, will not be allowed during this period, among other restrictions. Eateries can only offer takeaway and delivery options. Maximum group sizes for social gatherings will be reduced from five to two. The number of distinct visitors per household per day will also be capped at two, from the current five.
