You still can’t visit or meet anyone living in a different household. If caught, you face a composition fine of $300. Repeat offenders will face higher fines, or prosecution in court for egregious cases.

These places will remain shut in Phase 1:

– Bars, pubs, nightclubs, theatres and cinemas. They are deemed higher risk because they draw crowds in an enclosed space.
– All arts facilities and venues, including museums, art galleries and all indoor and outdoor performance venues such as concert halls.
– Libraries and their on-site services such as book drops and reservation lockers. You will not be fined if you have not returned material that is due. You will have three weeks after libraries eventually reopen to do so.

Seniors should continue to stay at home but their children and grandchildren can visit, within limits. They can receive up to two visitors once a day, but both visitors must be from the same household.

Elderly folk who do not have children can appeal to the Ministry of Health for their siblings, nieces and nephews to visit them.

Allowed:

Exercising with household members. But you can’t gather to exercise with others not from your household. If you need to exercise (walk, jog, cycle), you must still only do so in your neighbourhood.

You must wear a mask when you set out, and while you may remove it when doing strenuous exercise, you should put it back on once that is done.

Not allowed:

Visits to any of these places, which will remain close in Phase 1:

– Fishing areas, fitness corners and playgrounds in parks
– The beaches at East Coast Park, Changi Beach Park, Pasir Ris Park, Punggol Point, Sembawang Park and West Coast Park
– Stadiums, public swimming pools, games courts and other fitness areas
– Pools and fitness facilities in condominiums
– Private gyms
– Country club facilities like pools and golf courses

Allowed:

Hair salons can now provide all services, including colour treatments that were disallowed under the circuit breaker.

Not allowed:

Spas, massages, facial threading, foot reflexology, facials and manicures.

Pre-schools:

Pre-schools will open in phases from Tuesday (June 2) with different cohorts returning on different dates. Staff and children can wear either a face mask or face shield. Children aged below two are not required to wear a mask.

Schools:

All primary, secondary, junior college (JC) and Millennia Institute (MI) students will return to school from Tuesday (June 2). Most students in primary and secondary schools will alternate between being physically in school and home-based learning, on a weekly basis. Going back to school is compulsory unless the student has specific medical conditions.

All students and teachers must wear different cohorts returning on different dates.

Tuition:

Tuition at enrichment centres and face-to-face lessons by private tutors are still not allowed. Tutors and students can continue with online classes.
