Hawker assistant visits KTV kena covid ..hawker center shuts down
#1

The hawker centre at Block 75 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh, which houses 36 hawker stalls managed by NTUC Foodfare, has been ordered to shut immediately after a stall assistant who allegedly visited a KTV lounge over the weekend tested positive for COVID-19 infection.
Closure notices have also been put up around the hawker centre, informing the public that deep cleaning and disinfection will be carried out on Thursday (15 July) and Friday (16 July), as reported by The Straits Times (ST) earlier today.
Stallholders told ST that they were alerted about the positive case at around 3pm on Wednesday (14 July) and were given three hours to pack up their things.
It was stated that stallholders are required to quarantine themselves for two weeks. Some stallholders have had swab testers visited their home on Thursday morning for the COVID-19 test.

Speaking to ST, 50-year-old Tan Boon Chuan, who runs a dessert stall with his wife and also a secretary of the hawker centre’s stallholder association, said that the closure notice was “very sudden” and “everyone was anxiously packing up”.
Mr Tan noted that he had to throw away all of the ingredients he had prepared for the day due to the sudden closure notices.
He added that most of the hawkers, including himself, are fully vaccinated and currently waiting to be tested.
According to Mr Tan, the stall assistant who tested positive for the virus works at Fang Yuan Satay and had allegedly visited a KTV lounge earlier on Sunday (11 July).
The man was absent from work on Monday and went to see a doctor on Tuesday, said Mr Tan.

Hawker stall must be doing very well when the assistant can afford KTV sessions
