SINGAPORE – Customers are flocking back to Mustafa Centre after it was allowed to reopen partially more than a month after being identified as a Covid-19 cluster.
The Little India department store’s supermarket section got the green light on Wednesday morning (May 6).
Mr Shamim Ahmad, manager for building maintenance and fire safety, told The Straits Times that it will operate from 9.30am to 11.30pm daily, with plans to resume 24-hour opening next week.
The Mustafa Centre cluster has not yet been closed since it was identified on April 2 after 11 cases were linked to it. There were 124 cases linked to it as at May 3.
Associate Professor Kenneth Mak, the Health Ministry’s director of medical services, said on April 9 that Mustafa Centre is believed to have been the starting point for hundreds of coronavirus infections at foreign worker dormitories.
Workers were likely infected after visiting the centre, where some employees had fallen ill, and they set off a chain of infections among co-workers and dormitory mates.
