JOHOR BARU: Business operators in the city centre have heaved a sigh of relief as foot traffic increased with the government’s recent move to allow interstate travel, but most of them remain wary about observing Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs).

The 101-year-old Hiap Joo Bakery in Jalan Tan Hiok Nee, famous for buns and banana cakes, saw an increase of about 20% in sales in the past week, according to its third generation proprietor Lim Toh Huei.

“While relaxed travel is beneficial for us, as business owners, we are also worried about the spread of Covid-19, as well as the safety of our customers and employees. During that time, not more than three people were allowed to travel in a car and his business lost the family crowd.“Prior to the pandemic, my cafe was always crowded with Singaporean tourists and perhaps that was a deterrent for locals to visit us, as to avoid the crowd.

“I also noticed how the public is easing into the new normal by wearing face masks properly and maintaining physical distancing, ” she said.
