The Big Story Ep 74: Expert on how to enjoy a safe Chinese New Year amid Covid-19

3:29 mins

Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story.

Wet markets around Singapore are still seeing huge crowds three days before the start of Chinese New Year. The Straits Times was at the wet markets in Kovan, Chong Pang and Potong Pasir on Tuesday morning (Feb 9) and some customers said they had to queue for more than two hours.

Safe distancing measures did not appear to be observed in some queues. Infectious diseases specialist Dr Leong Hoe Nam reiterates how we can enjoy a safe Chinese New Year.

He also weighs in on how an Indian national tested positive for Covid-19 after he received his first dose of the Pfizer vaccine.
