The Ministry of Health (MOH) said Boon Lay Place Food Village will be closed, after discovering seven Covid-19 cases among both visitors and workers at the market, on Thursday night (July 22).
Cases were detected through investigations into infections that were likely spread from fishmongers who visited the Jurong Fishery Port in order to collect stock to sell at food centres and markets, MOH explained.
The hawker centre, located at Blk 221A Boon Lay Place will be closed to public access for two weeks, starting from Friday.
MOH said the closure was meant to halt the chain of transmission and enable thorough cleaning of the premises.
