The usual din was missing at wet markets, hawker centres and coffee shops in Singapore as tighter Covid-19 safety rules kicked in.

When the Straits Times visited wet markets in Telok Blangah, Geylang Bahru, Amoy Street, Toa Payoh West and Potong Pasir yesterday morning, many fishmongers had closed their stalls.

This follows the detection of Covid-19 cases linked to the Jurong Fishery Port cluster at several wet markets here. The cluster recorded a total of 454 linked cases as of Wednesday. For instance, Geylang Bahru market has been fenced off with an orange plastic mesh, leaving only an entrance and an exit.

Hawker centres and coffee shops were also quieter yesterday, the first day the no dine-in restriction kicked in.Stallholders said the usual crowd had thinned as people were afraid to go out amid the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the community.
