Cinemas cut capacity as Singapore increases Covid-19 restrictions

LOS ANGELES, May 6 (Reuters): Cinemas in Singapore are once again cutting the capacity of their venues following a government order that raises the national anti-coronavirus restrictions. So far there are no plans to halt film releases.

The move follows a Ministry of Health announcement on Tuesday that requires higher levels of testing for any event with more than 100 people in attendance. Pre-event testing, requiring daily ART tests for all participants, has been in operation in Singapore since October last year, but only for activities with more than 250 people.
