Mosques and certain churches in Singapore have suspended their services as part of their measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.
The ministerial task force has also implemented a limit of 250 people for all gatherings, and for public establishments to set up safe distancing measures of at least one metre apart for customers or visitors.
Temples put up safe distancing measures
While temples have not had any reported infection clusters, they are to abide by these measures as well.
The Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple at Waterloo Street, or better known as the Si Ma Lu Temple, has set up measures to ensure its worshippers pray in safe distances.

Signs have been demarcated on the temple floors to indicate where people should stand to pray, so that they are at least one metre apart from each other.
Red tape barriers have also been placed to prevent people from crossing over and coming in contact with other people easily.
Some Facebook users have joked that the temple looks somewhat like an airport check-in counter, thanks to the barriers put in place.
Other measures taken
According to some visitors, worshippers are not allowed to kneel during this period, as part of safe distancing measures as well.
Stay safe.
