Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said then that Singapore and Hong Kong would review within two weeks on the new launch date and update again.<br \/>\nAs cases of infection continued to emerge in Hong Kong, the seven-day moving average of unlinked local Covid-19 cases rose to 16 as at Monday. The Republic and Hong Kong previously agreed that the travel bubble arrangement would be suspended if the number exceeds five in either city.<br \/>\nSo far, Hong Kong has a total of more than 6,300 cases, including 109 deaths. The daily new infections have crossed 70 for more than a week.<br \/>\nThis spike was led initially by a growing dance club cluster of more than 500, most of whom are tai tais and their young dancing instructors.<br \/>\nIn the past week, the government has made a series of orders, from mandating that dance club visitors go for compulsory tests to ordering patrons of specific eateries to go for the tests as the virus circulates.<br \/>\nFrom Wednesday, for two weeks, dine-in services will end two hours earlier, at 10pm, with the number of patrons capped at two per table. Bars, pubs, saunas, clubs, nightclubs and party rooms will remain closed. ADVERTISEMENT<br \/>\nAll amusement game centers, leisure venues, museums, cinemas, theme parks, karaoke establishments, mahjong clubs and swimming pools must be closed.<br \/>\nGyms, massage and beauty parlors can stay open but the number of patrons must be capped at two, while civil servants are to work from home, and public gatherings limited to two people.<br \/>\nThe tightening of measures comes as local transmission, particularly among the city\u2019s rich and powerful has spread like wild fire, initially with some socialites linked directly to the dance club cluster and, later, expanded as they continued to mingle over meals and mahjong.
