A total of 40 individuals’ particulars were taken from Dec 1 to 13 in parks and beaches managed by the National Parks Board (NParks), for gathering in groups larger than the permitted limit.

In one such case, NParks will be taking enforcement actions against a group of 22 individuals who were found playing soccer at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.

During the year-end festive period, agencies will step up checks on F&B outlets to ensure that Vaccination-Differentiated SMMs are strictly adhered to. 

Firm enforcement actions will be taken against operators and individuals who fail to comply with SMMs, including the proper wearing of masks. 

These include the prosecution and revocation of licences for food, public entertainment, and liquor.
