Physical MPS can resume from Aug 10 with overall crowd size limited to 50 or less

SINGAPORE - Meet-the-People sessions will be allowed to resume from Monday with precautionary measures such as capping overall crowd size to 50 or less, the National Environment Agency has said.

Ms Foo Mee Har said these measures include using nearby void deck areas for queue management, and to limit the number of people inside her branch to 30, including the MP and volunteers. A People's Action Party spokesman said the party's branches will adhere to safety guidelines,such as making sure there is sufficient physical space to allow safe distancing between persons and groups. Temperature taking and the use of SafeEntry for checking-in will also be required.

MPSes have been largely virtual affairs in recent months due to social distancing rules put in place to stop the spread of Covid-19, and remained so when they resumed after the July 10 General Election.
