SINGAPORE, May 5 (The Straits Times/ANN): Cinemas in Singapore will further limit seat capacities to comply with the new Covid-19 measures announced this week.

A check by The Straits Times with cinema operators found that they will limit seating to a maximum of 100 per hall. This allows for screenings to be run without the need for pre-event testing, which kicks in at screenings with more than 100 attendees, up to a maximum of 250 attendees.
