Unvaccinated children aged 12 years and below may be included within the group of five persons if all the children are from the same household.

The updated safe management measures were announced by Wong, the co-chair of multi-ministry taskforce (MTF) on COVID-19, at an MTF media conference.

F&B establishments may only resume dine-in services for fully vaccinated persons while other F&B establishments that are not able to do so may only operate take-away and delivery services.

Up to two persons – whether vaccinated and unvaccinated – can dine in at hawker centres and coffee shops as these are open-air and naturally ventilated spaces.

In a statement, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said, “Dining-in at F&B establishments remains a high-risk activity because many people will be unmasked and in close proximity with each other. At this stage of the transition, entertainment such as live performances, recorded music, and videos/TV screening will continue to be prohibited.”

Similarly, fully-vaccinated individuals may participate in groups of up to five persons in higher-risk activities where masks are removed such as personal care services, and indoor high-intensity mask-off sports.

The social gathering group size limit will be increased from two persons to five persons, and the cap of two distinct visitors per household per day will be raised to five distinct visitors per household per day. These measures will also take effect from 10 August.

Unvaccinated individuals should remain in groups of no more than two persons, to reduce the likelihood of transmission and severe infection, MOH said.
