Bloomberg forum: Not 'practical' to extend dining in for 5 to Singaporeans – Gan Kim Yong

Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry task force on COVID-19, addresses reporters at a virtual media briefing on Saturday, 23 October 2021.

On the possibility of a pre-testing requirement for larger groups in public to dine just like for the Bloomberg forum, “we have to consider whether that is practical," said Gan. The Bloomberg forum is held for a specific period and would not be a good solution if this were to apply to anyone who goes for a meal, he added.

"So we have to bear this in mind as we discuss and explore the possibilities for opening up dining in flexibility for locals."Gan was speaking at a virtual press conference open only to Singapore Press Holdings and Mediacorp outlets, as well as the social news site Mothership, where he addressed fierce online criticisms of theas part of safe management measures in Singapore's Stabilisation Phase.

The measures are stricter than existing ones for larger-scale events for Singaporeans. For example, at wedding receptions, pre-event testing is required for all attendees unless they are fully vaccinated, have recovered from COVID-19 or are aged 12 and below.The NEF is expected to draw current and former heads of state and global chief executive officers.
