SINGAPORE – Shopping malls and standalone stores must limit the number of shoppers on their premises and disperse groups of more than 10 people, said the authorities on Thursday (March 26).
Operators of malls and standalone stores such as Ikea and Courts Megastore must reduce operating capacity to avoid having more than one person per 16 sq m of usable space – roughly the size of an HDB flat bedroom – to minimise overcrowding, especially during peak periods.
These safe distancing measures take effect from 11.59pm on Thursday until April 30, as Singapore’s fight against Covid-19 enters a new phase amid a wave of imported cases to the country.
The Enterprise Singapore, Housing & Development Board, Singapore Tourism Board and Urban Redevelopment Authority issued a joint statement with a list of measures operators must adhere to.
The new rules would require mall operators to allow tenants to mark queue spots outside their units, spacing shoppers at least 1m from one another.
