RESTAURANTS in Singapore are gearing up to fall in line with the latest Covid-19 restrictions for the upcoming Chinese New Year period – with ideas that include the playing of pre-recorded messages while tossing yusheng or during lohei, in view of diners being told to avoid the usual shouting of auspicious phrases.

While eating establishments do not foresee dine-in plans or reservations being greatly affected, some caterers said they were concerned about the extended impact on their businesses. Some are appealing to the government for assistance.
