SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth will start piloting an increase in the limit of worshippers for congregational and worship services - from 50 people to 100 people - on 12 religious organisations from Friday .
"The pilot sites reflect the diversity of religious practices and worship settings in Singapore," said the ministry, adding that the participating organisations"must have first safely conducted congregational and other worship services for up to 50 persons under the guidelines for Phase 2". "In worship settings where religious services are structured or seated, these zones will help to minimise interactions between worshippers," said the ministry.
For Buddhist, Taoist and Hindu temples, MCCY said safe management measures should ensure that"no crowding or bunching of worshippers at common areas and in the prayer halls, no mingling between groups, and safe distancing between worshippers".
