Singapore authorities ordered several restaurants in a neighborhood popular with expatriates to immediately stop selling takeaway alcohol, after several foreigners didn’t adhere to social distancing measures outside of the premises.
Enforcement action will be taken against business operators and individuals for non-compliance, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli said in a Facebook post Monday. Those who flout social distancing rules face a S$300 ($211) fine for the first offense.
