As part of the Covid-19 circuit breaker (CCB) mode, the number of people who were allowed into the Geylang Serai Market and Food Centre at one time has been restricted.

Limited number of people allowed in

According to a Facebook user who visited the market on Tuesday, April 7, which is Day 1 of the CCB period, only a maximum of 100 people were allowed into the market at one time.

While the wet market is operating as usual, the area was cordoned off as well to limit access to the public.

The current scene at the wet market is a far cry from the usual bustling sight before the CCB measures kicked in on April 7.
