SINGAPORE – Shoppers heading out to buy groceries at four popular wet markets will only be able to do so on alternate days depending on the last digit of their identity card or foreign identification card number from Wednesday (April 22), as part of measures to further limit crowds.
These four wet 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.
Those with an even last digit on their cards can visit these markets only on the even dates of the month, while those with an odd last digit can visit these markets only on the odd dates of the month, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said in a statement.
Persons who need assistance, such as the elderly and those with disabilities, can be accompanied by one family member or domestic helper, but one of their identification numbers must still meet the odd or even date entry restriction, NEA added, saying the elderly are still encouraged not to visit markets at peak hours.
