Singapore's Covid-19 stabilisation phase kicked in on Monday (Sept 27), with office buildings and trains along the North-South and Downtown lines noticeably less crowded as tighter curbs came into effect .

Morning traffic on some roads also appeared lighter than usual as primary and special education schools began compulsory home-based learning for their pupils.

Meanwhile, supermarket operators have assured customers that there are sufficient stocks of fruits and vegetables in store, reminding them to only purchase what they need.

This comes in the wake of Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre's three-day closure after Covid-19 cases were detected among workers and visitors. The wholesale centre is closed from Monday to Wednesday for cleaning and disinfection.
