ANOTHER 85 businesses have been ordered to cease operations for flouting the elevated safe-distancing measures over Wednesday and Thursday; one F&B establishment was fined S$1,000 after repeated warnings.

They included wellness and beauty product shops, general household product retailers, phone accessories retail shops, travel agencies, hardware shops and non-essential healthcare services. The others were providing essential services, but failed to enforce the safe-distancing measures properly, said Enterprise Singapore and the Singapore Tourism Board in a joint statement on Thursday.
Bubble tea brand Playmade's outlet in Waterway Point in Punggol was fined S$1,000 following repeated warnings from the authorities over its failure to enforce crowd management and for allowing customers to crowd together less than a metre apart from each other.
