SINGAPORE — Nineteen more hawker centres will have vaccination entry checks in place by Nov 29, allowing for groups of up to five fully vaccinated or eligible persons to eat at those premises, the National Environmental Agency (NEA) said on Friday (Nov 26).
As of Friday, there are 13 hawker centres that have put in place vaccination checks at access points, an increase from the initial batch of 11.
Bukit Panjang Hawker Centre and Market, the first of the additional 19 hawker centres, is set to have its entry checks in place by Saturday, NEA said in a Facebook post.
The others will have the checks in place by next Monday, while Singapore’s remaining hawker centres will do so by next Tuesday.

Patrons of these food centres may either show the personnel manning the access points the vaccination verification on the TraceTogether mobile application, or provide their TraceTogether token to be scanned to determine their vaccination status.
Fully vaccinated or eligible persons will be given a sticker to identify them so that they will be allowed to have their meals at these hawker centres, while those who are not vaccinated or partially vaccinated can only buy food to take away.
Individual stallholders will not need to check patrons’ vaccination status.
CLARIFICATION: An earlier version of the article listed one of hawker centres as Block 4A Jalan Batu. NEA has clarified that it should be Serangoon Garden Market.
