SINGAPORE - Business was brisk on the first day of entry restrictions at four popular wet markets being lifted, as customers flocked back to their neighbourhood marketplaces to buy fresh produce while still taking care to maintain social distancing.

"I was expecting there to be huge crowds, but there weren't - I think people have gotten used to timing their visits and are keeping away when they see too many people entering the market," Ms Wong said. But the restriction will remain in place at weekends, and other measures such as the use of SafeEntry for contact-tracing, and social distancing guidelines like keeping 1m away from other patrons will remain in place.

The Straits Times visited Chong Pang market on Thursday morning, and found a steady stream of people entering the market despite the drizzle, but crowd control was manageable, and entry was orderly.
