A court in Singapore on Wednesday charged American fast food giant KFC with breaching two COVID-19 safety regulations at one of its outlets in the city-state.
The KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) management was accused of allowing four customers to enter its outlet at Far East Plaza in the fashionable Orchard Road hotel belt on July 10 last year without first assessing if any of them was a symptomatic COVID-19 case.
The outlet, a permitted enterprise carrying on a retail food and drinks business, was supposed to establish and apply procedures and controls to ensure that their customers were assessed for COVID-19 symptoms, according to the charge sheet.
It is also accused of failing to take all practicable and reasonable steps to ensure that the same four customers remained in groups of not more than two people as per the rules on social distancing implemented in Singapore at that time, according to Channel News Asia report.
