SINGAPORE - Government-managed columbaria in Choa Chu Kang, Mandai and Yishun will be open to the public again from Friday after more than two months of closure due to the coronavirus.
Safety stipulations like the wearing of masks remain in place. Families have been advised to limit their group size to not more than five people, while seniors should stay home as they are particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus. The closure of columbaria during the circuit breaker period affected the annual Qing Ming festival, a traditional Chinese festival when people pay their respects to their ancestors.
Temples like Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery had in response turned online, introducing surrogate services for devotees to order ancestral offerings remotely and book a mass chanting conducted by monks.
