Subject to the implementation of Safe Management Measures (SMMs), these five venues will be allowed to resume operations:

- Amusement centres
- Computer games centres
- Billiard saloons
- Paintball games centres
- Axe-throwing centre
Amusement centres likely include bowling alleys and ice skating rinks.
And if you’re wondering what the heck an axe-throwing centre is, well, it’s exactly as the name suggests: you go there to throw axes.
Some do it for fun, others do it to release stress. Either way, if you’ve been dying to throw an axe during the circuit breaker, you’ll soon be able to.
If you own such an establishment and you’re rubbing your hands together in anticipation, you should remember to take safe distancing rules seriously because operators who do not comply with requirements face harsh punishment.
First-time offenders may face a fine not exceeding S$10,000 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or both.
