5. Traders must take all reasonable measures to ensure social distancing in and around their stalls, including but not limited to managing queues appropriately and regularly washing hands.
6. Traders must set up the stall to trade from one direction only. The 3 other sides should either be walled off with gazebo sides or direct customers to queue from one side of the stall only. This is to allow the flow of pedestrians along the sides and to not cause queues all around the stall.
