My friend asked me about CNY visit rules but I realize I'm not totally clear about it myself.

Friends can no longer visit each other's house with immediate effect?

When will this special CNY visit rule expire?

Even non-Chinese who don't celebrate CNY must follow the house visit rule?

Friends not say cannot visit BUT stick to visit parents/in law/close relative as priority and tradition of CNY.. kept to 2 household per day.. not more than 8 per household

Don't remember got expiry date; just hope no new cluster form during this period

All must follow.. we are Singapore, we are Singapore, regardless of race and religion 😂

Singapore small small.. wanna see parents/relatives and friends can always do so leh.. long time ago in BIG countries they visit during CNY as got broad leave to travel far far to visit loh.. and funny loh.. most times Singaporean travel aboard to siam CNY and this year suddenly wanna visit? hard to believe! whahahahahahaha..

Anyway funny how one think.. for example some people wear seat belt because they scare of being fine of not doing so INSTEAD of seat belt save life.. So during this time the law oso must be made to ensure people comply..

If you're the host, don't have more than 8 pax in the house at any one time. 

If you're the one doing the visiting, don't visit more than 2 separate locations on the same day.

Just visit parents house and in laws. 

Settled.

Per @inlinesix posted link, I read as the house visit rules are in effect now and not only during CNY. Also, limiting to family means no friends visit even if within 8 pax per day.

From 26 January 2021, there will be a cap of 8 unique visitors per household per day.

If you are doing house visits, Limit your visits to family and to not more than 2 households per day

Just go out coffee shop to meet up with friends , 7 friends  per day can add up to be a lot of friends to meet up with if we do that  diligently every day. My relatives come to my house to meet up with my children, my friends just want to meet up with my wine fridge, so we can make do with it outside.  For the benefit of every one, accept the measure and move on😅

I suppose it’s for the good of everyone that we still to the rules that are spelt out during this time.

sometimes I wonder if we need to read in between the lines of an advisory so that we don’t incurred complications that may rise due to other underlying unknowns.

there are some who will always fight the system, asking why cannot?

i'm sure there will be some charged or fined according to this new requirement, just curious to how the authorities will go about it.

[Victor68]

Whatever implemented is to mitigate crowd and it is to provide safety to everyone. I don't think the authorities are interested to 'catch' anyone. It is your own safety mah.

Really CNY so important that other days cannot visit meh? Once this pandemic is over, visit them more frequently lah.
