In the first phase of a plan to gradually ease Covid-19 restrictions, some businesses in Brunei such as restaurants, cafes and food courts are allowed to re-open, but entries to most of these premises will be limited and monitored by a mobile application, the BruHealth.
Businesses wishing to re-open to the public need to apply for permission and then will be given a BruHealth QR code.
Customers must scan the QR code before entering and exiting the business premises, which will ensure that business owners comply with the quota imposed by the health ministry, which is 30 percent of their normal capacity at one time. - Xinhua/Asian News Network
