SINGAPORE: People fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and those who produce an exemption notice will be able to take part in worship services with more than 100 people without pre-event testing.
Pre-event testing is required for congregational and other worship services involving more than 100 people. These services may only have up to 250 people, separated into zones of 50 people each. "Before being admitted into the venue where the service is being held, the worshipper must produce valid documentation of either their vaccination or exemption notice which must remain valid until the end of the worshipper’s participation in the service," said MCCY.
From May 8, people involved in/supporting the conduct of the worship service will not be allowed to sing while masked, added the ministry.There should be no sharing of prayer and other common items, such as holy books, passing of offertory baskets and prayer mats, as this increases the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Worshippers are to bring along their personal prayer items instead, where required.
Attendees must maintain a 1m safe distance between groups, except a core “wedding party”, which is allowed to comprise up to 20 people, including the couple and their two witnesses. For religious classes, class sizes must not exceed 50 people, including the religious worker/teacher and supporting workers, if any. Each group must be limited to five people.
