Last week, we reported that an additional 19 hawker centres would be added to the list of places where vaccinated patrons can dine in.
It seems many other hawker centres have since joined the list.

Kudos to the officers and operators who made the swift implementation of the necessary safeguards possible.
We hope the measures will allow Singaporeans to dine in with peace of mind while protecting the unvaccinated.
