SINGAPORE - Close to 170 people have been fined for not complying with safe distancing rules, while more than 30 did not wear a mask outside of their homes on Thursday , even as crowds at four popular markets thinned after stricter entry measures were implemented.
The update comes even as the National Environment Agency said that thinner crowds were observed at four popular markets that have implemented measures to restrict entry. The four markets are Geylang Serai Market, Chong Pang Market at Block 104/105 Yishun Ring Road, and the markets at Block 20/21 Marsiling Lane and Block 505 Jurong West Street 52.
If the last digit of a person's NRIC or FIN is an odd number, he should visit the four markets only on odd dates of the month, such as Thursday, which is April 23. At the busiest of the four markets, Geylang Serai, NEA observed an average queue length of not more than 50 people from 7am to 10am on Thursday, compared to a consistently long queue length of more than 100 from 8am on Tuesday morning.
However from Friday, NEA will be enforcing the rule and those who do not adhere to the odd or even date entry restriction will be denied entry to the markets.
