Added safe distancing measures at markets

All beaches are closed, starting today (Apr. 11), as announced by Lawrence Wong.

Starting from tomorrow (Apr. 12), those without a mask will be refused entry into 40 markets across the island.

Here are the safe distancing measures that you should take note of when making essential trips to public spaces during this period:

  • Stay at home. Do not go out unless you need to (e.g., see a doctor, or buy food and essential items) and go home as soon as you are done.
  • Limit social contact to household members. You can stay in touch with other family members and friends through video or phone calls.
  • Do not gather in groups, either at home or outside, including in the neighbourhood.
  • Keep a safe distance of at least 1 metre from others even in open spaces (e.g. in queues, and when exercising).
  • No eating or drinking in eating places. Bring a clean container to pack your food for takeout, or opt for delivery.
  • Members of the public have to comply with these elevated safe distancing measures in the common property of public and private housing estates, parks and other shared spaces.

Starting from Apr. 12, 2020, those who do not comply with the safe distancing measures will be issued a S$300 fine on the first offence.
