It has been more than 15 months since nightclubs and karaoke outlets went silent, forced to shut after coronavirus infections first surged in Singapore.
There was some hope in November last year when a pilot programme was mooted for two nightclubs and 10 karaoke outlets to reopen, but this was put on hold in January after a spike in cases.
The nightlife industry has been brought to its knees because of the pandemic, but there is some hope now with Singapore s vaccination programme ramped up and community infections down to a trickle.
