UPDATE on Apr. 8, 2020, 4pm: Daiso has reversed its decision to open five outlets during the "circuit breaker" period. All its Daiso and Threepy outlets will be closed from Apr. 7 to May. 4.

- Waterway Point
- Plaza Singapura
- Square 2 (Novena)
- Tiong Bahru Plaza
These outlets will be open 10am to 7pm daily, just in case you need to stock up on S$2 household necessities.
All other outlets will remain closed until May. 4.
The chain also reminded shoppers to wear a mask and observe safe distancing measures when they are out.
