Closed for renovation work

According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), the food centre will be shut down for repairs and redecoration work.

NEA explained that regular renovation work work is often done at hawker centres to keep them clean.

"Hawker centres are an integral part of Singapore life, offering a wide selection of food and market produce at affordable prices. To ensure that they are kept clean, NEA conducts regular spring cleaning and Repairs and Redecoration (R&R) works in the MSE-owned centres."

Covid-19 measures placed at food centres/markets

Since Apr. 10, Covid-19 control measures have been put in place at relatively popular markets and food centres which tend to draw crowds.

NEA stated that patrons should expect to queue when visiting these places, and should also maintain a one-metre separation when queuing.
