Safe distancing? It’s not happening at Singapore supermarkets and people just don’t care, shoppers say

Ms Chia added: “I have fears of being in crowded spaces now but I have no choice. I have tried to shop online but delivery slots are always not available and the food delivered is also not fresh.” Over two days, TODAY visited several outlets of supermarket chains such as FairPrice, Cold Storage, Giant and Sheng Siong, including some that have been listed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry as “high traffic” in a news release on April 21. They are FairPrice Xtra at Ang Mo Kio Hub, FairPrice Finest at Clementi Mall and FairPrice at Northpoint City mall in Yishun.

Homemaker Fiqah Rahmat, 31, who visits Sheng Siong supermarket at Block 88 Tanglin Halt Road at least once a week, said: “Maintaining safe distancing is one thing, but staying out too long is also a risk, so people just want to grab their stuff and go back home as fast as they can.” Shoppers move around close to each other at FairPrice Finest supermarket at Bichan’s Junction 8 mall on Tuesday June 2, 2020 at 10.30am.

For Ms Lee Yu Xian, 32, who visits the FairPrice outlet along Clementi Avenue 3 twice a week, she noticed that the enforcement of safe distancing measures in supermarkets has become lax.
