Singapore to ease Covid-19 curbs from next week

Singapore's health ministry said on Friday it will start easing Covid-19 restrictions, including allowing fully vaccinated people to dine in at restaurants in groups of five, from next Tuesday.

The easing comes as the government expects more than 70 percent of the population to have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 by Aug 9.

The government will also resume entry approvals for vaccinated work pass holders and their dependants with travel history to higher risk countries from Aug 10.
