POPULAR dance club The Butter Factory - the only club to shut its premises in the wake of an Influenza A(H1N1) virus outbreak - reopened its doors on Wednesday after one week.

The closure came after an employee contracted the virus. The club's premises then underwent a 12-hour-long disinfection process.

But, despite the fact that 43 cases have been linked to Butter to date, its management is confident that business will not be seriously affected.

Executive chairman Tay En-Yen told My Paper on Wednesday: 'Most people felt we made the right move (by closing) and have said that they will come back.'

The three-year-old establishment, which moved to its new One Fullerton premises in March, has taken a cue from other outlets in implementing new measures to curb the spread of the virus.
