MOH confirmed:Restaurants gear up to check diners' vaccination status - forum456 - 10-08-2021

Restaurant owners and chefs welcome the clearer rules for dining in, as they gear up to check on customers' vaccination status before welcoming them.

Those The Straits Times spoke to said the new rules are clearer than the ones issued earlier.

Starting from Tuesday (Aug 10), groups of up to five people who are fully vaccinated, have recovered from or tested negative for Covid-19, can dine together at restaurants. Only two people, regardless of vaccination status, can eat together at hawker centres and coffee shops.


Ms Sabrina Goh, manager of Venue by Sebastian at Downtown Gallery in Shenton Way, said of the new rules: "These are better than the confusing combinations put out before."

Most of the restaurants contacted said they would use the TraceTogether app and the SafeEntry Gateway device to check diners' vaccination status.

Mr Shek Chi Kuen, general manager of Yan, a Chinese restaurant at the National Gallery, said: "Guests just need to tap their TraceTogether app or token on our SafeEntry device to prove their vaccination status. For those who do not have the app, we can also accept proof of their vaccination status on HealthHub. Customers without mobile phones can bring their vaccination cards, which are issued after the second dose."

Dr Martin Bem, founding managing director of LeVeL33, an urban microbrewery in Marina Bay Financial Centre, said: "Our host team is trained and briefed to check every single diner, not only for his or her vaccination status but also the vaccination details on a refreshed screen of the TraceTogether app, in order to avoid guests trying to sneak in by just showing a screenshot."


Chef Gan Ming Kiat of Mustard Seed, a restaurant in Serangoon Garden, has even done a video for diners, showing how staff will do the checks.

Mustard Seed will accept only negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results from providers approved by the Health Ministry.

Said chef Jason Tan, owner of Euphoria, a restaurant in Tras Street, in Tanjong Pagar: "The PCR test is more accurate, and I need to ensure the safety of all my team members and guests."

Just out of concern. Government should include Sinovac and Sinopharm under their care schemes. Some may wish to be vaccinated. The problem is that there is no coverage at all.

Those old people above 65 years old might think otherwise. Else our government has to come out and say there is no serious side effect after Sinovac injections. Just put out the data table on number of people, number of events(no need type of events), period and the type of vaccines will be sufficient.

What happen if they say those not vaccinated cannot vote? It is still far away.

there seems to be a loophole on the apps. anyone can download the app and key in the vac person info right?

Hawker Center also check? Is it taped all over except for one entrance and exit where the counter girl verifies the vaccination status?
