11 things to know about Singapore's new Covid-19 rules

SINGAPORE - Safe management measures in place - with some tweaks - will remain till the Omicron wave is over, said the multi-ministry task force tackling the Covid-19 pandemic on Wednesday .

The five measures are group sizes, mask-wearing, workplace requirements, safe distancing and capacity limits.For example, the current limit of up to 50 per cent of employees who can work from home being allowed to return to office will stay. As long as people are wearing masks, there is no need to cross out alternate seats and benches, or urinals in a men's toilet.Newspapers or magazines can be placed in common areas, and hair dryers in public showers as long as good hygiene is maintained, said Mr Ong.

From March 4, specific event size limits for events such as religious services, business events, media conferences, funerary memorial events, wedding receptions and mask-on classes will be lifted.Large events and settings which pose more infection risks will still have capacity limits imposed as a precaution. These include attractions, cruises, MICE and large work-related events, as well as large performing arts venues or sports stadiums.

Bi-directional quarantine-free sea travel between Singapore and Indonesia will resume with the launch of VTL from Bintan and Batam, with the first ferry trip on Feb 25. From Feb 25, all sports will be allowed to proceed with up to 30 fully vaccinated persons - including players, coaches and umpires - at supervised or operated sports facilities such as ActiveSG facilities and approved private facilities, said MOH.
