SINGAPORE — Retailers at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre reported slower business on Tuesday (Dec 21), the day after the Ministry of Health (MOH) identified a suspected cluster of the Omicron Covid-19 variant at an Anytime Fitness gym located at the mall.

Food-and-beverage establishments in the building approached by TODAY said that the number of customers had dropped by at least 50 per cent.

When TODAY visited Jew Kit Hainanese Chicken Rice outlet at about 2pm on Tuesday, most of the tables were empty. "We thought that everybody will be adjusted to the new norm. Obviously, not," the 44-year-old said, adding that she hopes things will improve after a week. "Eventually, I think it will be like the norm. I think it's just everybody has this initial 'shocker' phase," he added.
