SINGAPORE: Authorities have ordered a bar in Clarke Quay to temporarily close, for a second time, after it was found breaching COVID-19 safety measures again.

On Oct 10, officers found a group of eight customers at Los Amigos in breach of safe management measures, said the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in a media release.

"This is not the first time that enforcement actions had been taken against Los Amigos for breaches of safety management measures," said URA. 

In July, Los Amigos was fined and ordered to close for 10 days. Despite this, URA said "repeated, multiple breaches" of safety measures were still found.  

"The operator has been informed that this is unacceptable," said the authority. 

Los Amigos has been ordered to close for 20 days, starting on Oct 21.
