They announced on Tuesday (7 Apr) that all outlets will undergo temporary closure from 7 Apr-4 May.

For safety reasons, customers are advised to put on masks when visiting the stores.
They should also adhere to safe distancing measures and observe good personal hygiene.

This could potentially thwart the government’s efforts to contain the outbreak and may cause the ‘Circuit Breaker’ social distancing window to be extended.
If there’s an essential item that you need urgently, go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, stay home and stay safe.
