Dine-in allowed in Singapore from 10 Aug for groups of 5 people who are fully vaccinated

According to The Straits Times, under the new rules, those who are not vaccinated will only be allowed to join groups of 5 if they have a valid negative pre-event test (PET) results.

The group size for social gatherings will be increased from 2 to 5 and you can also receive up to 5 visitors to your home.
