Boon Lay Place Food Market to Close for 2 Weeks As 7 New COVID-19 Cases Detected There
Boon Lay Place Market and Food Village will be closed to the public from today (23 July) till 6 Aug, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said.
This comes after the discovery of 7 infections among workers or visitors of the market.
According to MOH, the virus likely spread to the market by fishmongers who visited Jurong Fishery Port to collect their stocks before selling them at the markets and food centres.
The closure will enable the authorities to carry out deep cleaning, as well as break the chain of transmission.
If you visited the market between 8 July and 22 July, you can also get a free COVID-19 test.
