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.

I think it's just everybody has this initial 'shocker' phase," he added.
