SINGAPORE - The National Environment Agency (NEA) has stepped up efforts to control the crowds at Geylang Serai and Tekka markets ahead of Hari Raya Puasa.
In response to queries, the agency said on Monday (April 26) that more officers have been deployed to enforce safe distancing at the two popular markets.
The officers will stop people from entering the markets if there is crowding at particular sections, an NEA spokesman said.
Other measures include having markings on floors to remind people to keep a safe distance from one another.
Stall owners have also been reminded not to place goods outside their stalls as this could hinder safe distancing, the spokesman added.

As the coronavirus continues to stalk global tourism, Singapore is sparing no effort to revive the country’s ailing sector, with the domestic market coming into play.
In December 2020, the Singapore Tourism Board threw a lifeline to struggling tourism businesses by giving every adult citizen S$100 (US$75) in SingapoRediscovers Vouchers (SRV) to spend on hotel staycations, attraction tickets and tours, valid through June 30, 2021. This was accompanied by the Singapoliday campaign, detailing promotions and offerings available in 10 precincts, including the Civic District, Kampong Gelam and Sentosa.
