According to The Strait Times, larger groups of five people will be allowed to dine in at eateries from July 12 as Singapore reopens further following an improvement in its Covid-19 situation and as more residents get vaccinated.

Two-thirds of the population will have received at least the first dose of the vaccine by the end of July 7, and the multi-ministry task force on Covid-19 expects half of the population to be fully vaccinated by the end of the month.
