SINGAPORE(Apr 2): Singapore’s government urged residents to consider ordering their groceries online rather than going to the shops. That just became tougher.

Alibaba Group Holding Ltd’s Lazada Group SA is temporarily suspending its grocery delivery service in Singapore as the country’s strict physical distancing measures amid rising coronavirus cases have triggered orders to soar.

RedMart, Lazada’s online grocer unit, will not take new orders until it resumes its services on April 4, the company said in a notice to customers on Thursday. RedMart will use this time to make changes to the range of products available and prioritize daily essentials such as rice, flour and eggs, it said.
