Updated Advisory for Safe Management Measures at Food & Beverage Establishments

1 March 2022

Who Should Know:
Mall developers, building owners, food & beverage business owners

This has been superseded by the latest advisory. Please refer to the Circulars page.

  1. This joint advisory provides updates on Safe Management Measures (SMMs) for Food and Beverage (F&B) Establishments.

Updates on Vaccination-Differentiated SMMs (VDS)

  1. Unvaccinated individuals are no longer able to take a present a negative Pre-Event Test (PET) result to enter VDS settings such as shopping malls and establishments providing personal care services that require the removal of facemasks, such as facial treatments, make-up services and saunas. Only those who are fully vaccinated, have recovered from COVID-19, are medically ineligible for all COVID-19 vaccines under the National Vaccination Programme or are unvaccinated children aged 12 years and below (i.e. born in or after 2010), will be allowed to allowed to enter settings where VDS is implemented. From 1 March 2022, children born in 2009 who turn 13 in 2022 will need to be fully vaccinated to enter venues and participate in activities with VDS.

  2. All recovered persons from COVID-19 who are not fully vaccinated are only given a 180-day exemption after infection to enter settings where VDS is implemented. This is a reduction from the previous exemption period of 270 days.

  3. VDS must be implemented for all events, irrespective of event size and whether F&B is served. This also applies to events held at F&B establishments.

Updates on Rostered Routine Testing (RRT)

  1. From 18 February 2022, F&B establishments are no longer required to conduct Fast and Easy Test Rostered Routine Testing, or FET RRT. This is a change from the current practice where all workers at F&B establishments that provide dine-in services, as well as all last-mile food delivery personnel are to be tested once every 7 days (under the FET RRT), regardless of vaccination status.

  2. Companies that have remaining kits that were already distributed to them for RRT are strongly encouraged to continue testing until the test kits are fully utilised. There is no need for companies to submit these test results.

Other Safe Management Measures

  1. In addition to the above, F&B establishments must adhere to prevailing SMMs in the Annex [PDF, 143 KB]. Firm action will be taken against any breaches. Under the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act, first-time offenders will face a fine of up to S$10,000, imprisonment of up to six months, or both. Subsequent offences may face a fine of up to S$20,000, imprisonment of up to twelve months, or both. Businesses that do not comply with the government’s requirements on SMMs may also be ineligible for government grants, loans, tax rebates and other assistance, and may also be subject to temporary closures.
