honestbee suspends habitat business due to coronavirus outbreak

HONESTBEE has temporarily suspended operations at its supermarket, habitat.

This follows a significant fall in walk-in traffic at habitat as well as Singapore authorities' raising of the risk assessment for the novel coronavirus to Orange, the second-highest level.

The suspension, which kicked in on Monday, will last till Feb 23 and may be extended if necessary, said honestbee.

honestbee had been operating habitat, a tech-enabled supermarket and dine-in concept located in Pasir Panjang, while the company undergoes a court-supervised restructuring process.

honestbee will continue to provide its online grocery delivery service to customers.
