As evident by the melted Ice Kachang on your dining table, dining out is not permitted at the moment.
Thanks to a spike in community infections, the authorities have had to tighten COVID-19 measures to contain the outbreak.
The authorities did say, however, that you can eat at public places if it’s inconvenient to return home or eat at your workplace.
Not sure where to go? Well, one shopping mall might have an answer.
Suntec City Sets Up Dining Areas for Food Delivery Riders & Frontline Staff Members
Suntec City is designating two of its food courts as dining areas for food delivery riders and other essential workers.
The Food Republic and Big Appetite food courts, which have been devoid of patrons since Sunday due to the tighter measures, will now be a safe and conducive environment where these workers can have their meals.
Those who will be allowed to eat at these food courts are:
- safe distancing ambassadors
- safe management inspectors
- enforcement officers
- food delivery riders
“Safe management measures within these dining areas are in place and we hope this will play a small part in helping these essential personnels perform their roles during this difficult time,” Suntec said on Thursday (20 May).
Extending Grace Period for Parking
What’s more, Suntec City said it will be extending the grace period for parking on its premises to aid delivery drivers and riders.
They explained that this will give shoppers more flexibility to pick up any orders they make for takeaways.
Dining Areas Set Up at Community Centres & Clubs
According to ST, some community centres and clubs have also set aside designated areas for essential workers – such as private-hire drivers and safe distancing ambassadors – to dine at.
They have been set up in areas such as Braddell Heights, Kampong Kembangan, Kampong Ubi, Toa Payoh East, and Woodlands, to name a few.
Dining in at University Campuses Allowed
Residents cannot dine in at public eateries, but there is one exception to the rule.
As long as safe management measures are in place, dining at university campuses is permitted.
This is because students and staff are on campuses for a longer period of time, the Ministry of Education (MOE) explained.
Depending on the university, students either have to eat in groups of two – in accordance with the current guidelines on social gatherings – or individually.
For everyone else, eating in public places such as parks is permissible provided it’s inconvenient to return home or eat at your workplace.
If you choose to do so, you should avoid crowded spaces, minimise social interactions, and observe safe distancing at all times.
