With a new set of ‘circuit breaker’ measures to slow down the spread of Covid-19, Singapore is in somewhat of a soft lockdown between 7 April and 4 May.
Essential services including food establishments and supermarkets are allowed to remain open so that people can still feed themselves and buy their daily necessities.
However, a better practice would be to shift to ordering our groceries from online delivery providers, to avoid exposing ourselves to large crowds in supermarkets.
This list of sites and apps will help you get groceries to your doorstep so that you can stay home and stay safe.
While we have included well known supermarkets like FairPrice, Cold Storage and Sheng Shiong’s online stores, many of them are already experiencing high order volumes and may not have delivery slots available during this time.
But fret not, as there are still plenty of other alternatives that could come in handy.
