Banana Leaf Apolo charged over alleged Covid-19 breaches
SINGAPORE – Restaurant chain Banana Leaf Apolo was charged in a district court on Wednesday (Feb 17) over alleged Covid-19 breaches.
The Indian restaurant, well known for its fish head curry, faces five charges under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act.
Media reported earlier that the alleged offences included providing a self-service buffet and failing to enforce safe distancing between seated customers.
The Singapore Tourism Board filed a magistrate’s complaint against the firm on Jan 20 over multiple breaches related to the pandemic.
The restaurant chain was ordered to close for 10 days last year – from Oct 26 to Nov 4 – for flouting Covid-19 regulations.
The case was referred to the Attorney-General’s Chambers upon further investigation.
The company is expected to plead guilty on April 1.
