This initial deployment of machines will cover more than 430 supermarkets and retail outlets, over 610 town council-managed areas in HDB heartlands, and 17 high footfall hawker centres across Singapore.

The deployment will eventually be extended to large migrant worker dormitories and all recreation centres. Read more
