Starting at 0:00 on August 19, food and beverage places must arrange seats at least a metre from each other and partitions are encouraged, Quy said.
Staff at restaurants and cafes must wear masks and measure customers’ temperatures. Hand sanitiser must be available while frequently-contacted objects should be cleaned regularly.
The move is believed to be necessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
