SINGAPORE : Some stall owners at Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre saw business drop by as much as 30 per cent, after three cases of Chikungunya fever were reported there last week.
Two of the victims - a 61-year-old man and his daughter - have recovered, and the daughter has since returned to work at the market.
Still, customers are shying away from the market, raising concerns among some stall owners, who said it will take about a month for business to recover.
Officers from the National Environment Agency (NEA) have been making thorough checks at the premises, and so far they have discovered four mosquito-breeding sites.
NEA officers are also distributing posters warning of the dangers of the disease. - CNA /ls
