With Singapore heading to a new stage of the pandemic, events and large gatherings have started to become part of the “new normal”. We are celebrating this big news, for people in the events industry, those who own venues for events and of course, those who are ready to party! This is a fantastic opportunity to host events after lots of ups and downs, and we have compiled a guide for all Venue Owners to understand the rules and regulations of hosting events in Singapore. If you are an event organiser, check out our guide to hosting events for event organisers!
Some important points to note:
- To summarise, fully vaccinated refers to people who have completed full vaccination regimen, and it has been 2 or more weeks since their second dose to ensure it has been effective.
1. Obtain the confirmed number of guests from the event organiser
