of nightlife businesses to reopen comes after almost eight months of closure for some pubs and bars without food licences, karaoke joints, nightclubs and discotheques.SAFETY MEASURESSome of the safety measures include opening nightclubs and karaoke lounges to only residents and those with work passes, as well as those who have done COVID-19 tests in the past 24 hours, said SNBA at a press conference on Monday to provide more details about the pilot programme.
As such the industry association is hoping to temper the “excitement” it had seen among industry players eager to reopen their doors. Applications will open from Wednesday to Sunday, although it said it is in talks with the authorities to extend the deadline to Nov 23. According to MTI and the Ministry of Home Affairs , the pilot for pubs and bars will start by December and last two months.
Asked who will likely be bearing the cost of these COVID-19 tests, Mr Ong replied that nightlight venue operators are probably unable to absorb the cost and will have to pass it on to consumers.
