A month after being identified as a Covid-19 cluster, the Mustafa Centre supermarket has resumed operations on Wednesday (6 May).
The mall’s management, however, are not taking things lightly and have implemented safe-distancing measures including limiting the number of shoppers at the premises.
Other parts of the mall, however, will remain closed, in line with ongoing ‘Circuit Breaker’ measures.
According to Channel NewsAsia (CNA), the authorities have allowed for the supermarket section of the mall to resume operations after conducting checks.
However, safe-distancing measures will be implemented.
For one, a maximum of 325 people will be allowed at the premises at any one time, reports CNA.
Customers would also have to scan have their NRICs scanned and temperatures checked, just like other supermarkets islandwide.
The number of entrances and exits have also been reduced, presumably to better control crowds at the mall.
Mustafa Centre was first identified as a Covid-19 cluster on 2 Apr, and has 124 cases linked to it, as of MOH’s update on Sunday (3 May).
It reportedly closed for 2 weeks from early April to allow for disinfection and was subsequently advised to remain closed for 28 days, reports CNA.
While the reopening of Mustafa Centre’s supermarket centre might come as great news for many Singaporeans, do adhere to ‘Circuit Breaker’ measures and avoid heading out unless absolutely necessary.
