SINGAPORE - People have been urged to stay home to stay safe during the Covid-19 outbreak. And very soon staying at home will be made even easier, with plans to bring even the wet market shopping experience online.
The initiative is part of the authority's Stay Healthy, Go Digital campaign, which aims to highlight how greater connectivity could help people continue with some activities, such as shopping or paying bills, even during the circuit breaker period. Customers can place their orders through the comments section of the Facebook Live video, confirm their details via Facebook messenger and make payment via PayNow, an instant funds transfer service offered by various banks. Those who spend over $20 will also be eligible for free islandwide delivery and produce will be delivered to them within the day to ensure freshness.
For instance, IMDA enlisted the help of Mr Max Kee, owner of Lian Huat Seafood, to help train the stallholders. He told The Straits Times on Sunday that business had dropped by between 30 per cent and 40 per cent since the start of the circuit breaker period in early April, as fewer people ventured out of their homes.
