Coronavirus: Seniors, pregnant women, people with disabilities to get own priority shopping hour at FairPrice stores

SINGAPORE - Senior citizens, pregnant women and those with disabilities will get their own dedicated shopping hour at FairPrice stores to keep them safe during the coronavirus outbreak.

NTUC FairPrice chief executive officer Seah Kian Peng said:"The dedicated shopping hour for our Pioneer Generation members help safeguard their well-being and provide them with more time and space." To shop during the priority shopping hour, FairPrice said that members of the Pioneer Generation should present their Pioneer Generation card. They will continue to enjoy the additional discounts from the existing Pioneer Generation Discount scheme that applies when they shop on Mondays and Wednesdays.

FairPrice is Singapore's largest retailer, with more than 200 outlets across the island serving over 600,000 shoppers daily.

I think those working the frontline should have their priority queue as well. They’ve worked really hard to do what they can to help the public.

Please make sure they stay at least 1m away from each other all the time

NTUC FairPrice chief executive officer Seah Kian Peng said: 'The dedicated shopping hour for our Pioneer Generation members help safeguard their well-being and provide them with more time and space.' This will exclude Merdeka generation, who are not as senior.
