SINGAPORE : Several nightspot operators have put in place H1N1 precautionary measures.

Nightclub operator Lifebrandz has put up posters updating patrons on the current H1N1 situation at all 10 of its outlets.

Patrons are also given temperature checks and offered hand sanitisers before entering.

Patrons with a temperature above 38 degrees Celsius will not be allowed to enter.

As of Saturday, Lifebrandz has not turned away any patrons.

Several other nightclub operators Channel NewsAsia spoke to said they are carrying out similar measures.

Operators added that they are confident that business will not be affected.

Lifebrandz's CEO, Bernard Lim, said: "We know that this is going to be a long-drawn process - fighting the H1N1 virus.

"So long as everyone is socially responsible and they take care of their own health, maintaining certain level of hygiene, we are quite sure that our patrons will come out and have a good time regardless."
