Fewer people were out and about at parks, hawker centres and markets in the city-state on the first day of the new tightened Covid-19 restrictions.
Until June 13, people are allowed out only in groups of two, and dining in is prohibited.
When The Straits Times visited popular parks and nature reserves like East Coast Park, Singapore Botanic Gardens and Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, regular park-goers said that the Sunday morning crowd had thinned out and people were generally abiding by the rules.
At Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, safe distancing ambassadors and National Parks Board staff were spotted monitoring the crowd.
