SINGAPORE - More markets will have crowd management measures in place by Friday as part of the Government's circuit breaker to curb the spread of the coronavirus here.
The crowd control measures include controlled entry and exit points where the number of patrons who can enter is managed by the size and space in the market. Should a queue form to get into the market, members of the public are advised to keep at least 1m apart. The public should also try to visit the market on weekdays where crowds are 30 per smaller than on weekends. If this is unavoidable they should avoid peak periods between 7.30am and 10am.
"Exercise groups are still meeting in the parks. A good number still do not observe safe distancing when queueing, especially in the markets. These are where clusters of infections can be born," he said. Meanwhile, over 900 advisories were issued at markets and hawker centres to people who did not practice safe distancing on Wednesday.
A further three written warnings were given to patrons who did not comply even after receiving written advisories.
