About 30 per cent and 50 per cent of Singapore's fruit and vegetable imports at handled at Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre respectively. The agency said it is working closely with stakeholders, such as fruits and vegetable associations, affected merchants, as well as importers and retailers, to minimise the impact on Singapore's food supply from the temporary closure.
It added that while there may be temporary disruptions to the supply of food during the pandemic, Singapore's supply of food is stable.Rapidly rising COVID-19 cases putting 'serious strain' on hospitals, action needed: Task forceMinister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu on Sunday urged people not to rush out to buy fruits and vegetables during this period.
This is now clear: it is not the so-called imported cases which bring covid to Singapore. It is the imported food and goods. So reopen the borders fully, with pcr tests. Quarantines are useless when you have 5 imported cases a day vs 1500 local cases a day.
