Singapore, 5th January: The Singaporean government has decided to ease COVID restrictions to allow business events of up to 1,000 people, although organisers must notify and receive prior permission from authorities. Organisers can host events of 50 people or less without needing to notify authorities.

COVID requirements remain significant. Restrictions include: masking of all participants; no food and beverage; participants must be seated or standing in fixed positions; participants are required to keep a distance of at least one metre from each other and need to remain divided into zones of 100 people each – with at least two metres between zones.
