Businessmen Ryan Chin, John Quan and Derek Chin say the restaurant and cinema industries are hoping they can soon start selling alcohol again. It has not been business as usual, they said.
After weeks of only allowing them to do curbside pick-up and take-out orders, on November 7 the Prime Minister announced in-house dining at restaurants could resume, but under two conditions: only at 50 per cent capacity and no alcohol was to be served.
Dr Rowley said, "Alcohol has shown and been shown to be one of the contributors to the results that we don't, want where people consume alcohol and it reduces their level of responsibility."
