Over 180 of the latest cases are linked to dance clubs.

“We need to tighten all social distancing measures, because the pandemic is severe.”

Bars and nightclubs, as well as other types of venues such as karaoke and dance halls, will be closed initially for seven days until at least Dec 3. They were first closed for several weeks in April and again from mid-July to mid-September, before restrictions were gradually eased again. The latest jump in cases has caused a travel bubble between Hong Kong and Singapore, due to launch on Sunday, to be postponed for at least two weeks.
