SINGAPORE: More than 200 fines will be issued to members of the public for flouting elevated safe distancing measures on Sunday , the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources said in a press release.
"Non-essential service providers must not carry out any business from any premises. Non-compliance is an offence," said the ministry.Meanwhile, 30 fines of S$300 each were issued to members of the public on Sunday for not complying with safe distancing measures at or near markets and hawker centres, said the National Environment Agency .
Since Friday, a total of 32 fines and 120 written warnings have been issued to members of the public for flouting safe distancing measures at or near the markets and cooked food sections of hawker centres, said NEA. Most people were seen wearing masks on Sunday, after NEA announced that those without masks would not be allowed to enter the 40 markets managed by NEA or NEA-appointed operators.Over the long weekend, adherence to safe distancing requirements"remained high" and queues that formed outside popular markets became more orderly and manageable as the weekend progressed, said the agency. Overall crowds at markets thinned down about 50 per cent from Friday to Sunday, it added.
"At their peak, queues of more than 100 people could be seen at these markets, with some of the queues starting as early as before 7am," said NEA. Many have also adjusted their marketing hours and have started to queue at popular markets between 6am to 7am, according to NEA. This is despite peak hours normally starting from 7am.
