Two KTV lounges that were meant to reopen yesterday will remain closed.
Checks by The Straits Times on a third outlet revealed that it had not reopened either.
The Health Ministry (MOH) said on July 13 that Club Dolce at Balestier Point, Wu Bistro at Golden Mile Complex and Club De Zara at Textile Centre will be closed from July 13 to July 27 after the ministry detected likely ongoing transmissions of Covid-19 at those places.

SINGAPORE - There is an ongoing surge in Covid-19 cases, with 480 people getting infected over the past week. This exceeds the total number of infections reported over the previous month.
Most of the new cases can be traced either to the cluster linked to KTV lounges, or to the one at Jurong Fishery Port. The two clusters are linked, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung in a Facebook post on Monday (July 19).
