SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): From offering refunds to absorbing the costs of pre-event testing, hotels and wedding venues have been working to help couples adapt to the sudden restrictions announced on Tuesday (May 4) and which kicked in this weekend.

For weddings this month, Fairmont Singapore will pay the cost of pre-event testing for Covid-19, if couples want to go ahead with more than 50 people, said Kerry Healy, chief commercial officer of hotel operator Accor for South-east Asia, Japan and South Korea.
