SINGAPORE, Aug 11 — Businesses such as gyms, spas and cinemas that had to suspend operations or function at a reduced capacity in recent weeks have started to bring back customers — primarily those who have been fully vaccinated.
For services which require masks to be removed such as spas and facials: Services can resume if the customer is fully vaccinated.Shawn Karthik, operations manager of Extreme Fitness, had to spend the long National Day weekend reaching out to every single gym member to check on their vaccination status.
He painstakingly contacted his 70 customers over group chats. His members are mostly in their 20s and 30s, so only about 40 per cent have completed the two-dose regime as younger people got the jab later in the national vaccination programme. However, Corinna Tjia, director of Lotus Yoga at Pasir Panjang, said she had still lost about 50 per cent of her revenue in the last month.
“For now, quite a number of students are waiting for their second jab, so in order to not ostracise them, we are still making mask-wearing compulsory,” she said. “The increase in capacity will depend on each individual hall size, but it will not exceed 500 people.” Starting tomorrow, independent cinema The Projector, which is located on Beach Road, will also be holding screenings for vaccinated individuals at two of its four halls.
