Hotpot, buffet or barbecue?
Groups of five can now dine together in restaurants, in the latest relaxation measures as Singapore comes to life with the endemic Covid-19.
Singapore is working on living with the virus, and to make that happen, the government is working hard on vaccinations. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said the goal is for two-thirds of the population to be fully vaccinated by Singapore State Day on August 9th.
The vaccination strategy has progressed a way in the country, as vaccinated individuals can expect to be less ill if infected, and are likely to have further protection if they receive regular renewable injections.
Authorities also noted he wants to come back to live the way it was before the pandemic, including attending entertainment events and going without masks, and working to open up the economy.
As Singapore facilitates measures, food and food ordering platforms are also giving their best deals to re-attract customers.

Snack bars severely affected by Covid-19 security measures
Restaurants stop amid low sales.
That’s while data from the Singapore Department of Statistics showed that sales of food and beverage services fell 14.1 percent in May from the previous month.
The intensified second-phase warning, which began a month on May 16, affected sales, as measures banned dining in restaurants and allowed only pride.
Restaurants fell 26.4 percent from April, while cafes and food courts fell 8.3 percent.
Sales have remained below pre-Covid-19 levels in recent months, in part due to a resurgence of community cases and the diversion of consumers to online delivery while working from home. The lack of tourism has also affected many catering facilities that rely on them as the main source of customers.
The government continues to closely monitor the development of Covid-19 as it opens safely.
He called on catering facilities to implement safe management measures (SMM) at the request of the Ministry of Labor to ensure a safe environment for customers and workers.
Some SMM measures include non-sale and permission to consume alcohol daily after 10:30 p.m. Snack bars that open to customers also regularly send workers for mandatory testing, regardless of their vaccination status.
There are a number of Covid-19 cases and unrelated cases fell in the past week. Nearly 40 percent of Singapore’s population is fully vaccinated and nearly 8,000 doses are given daily.
