Travellers from Hong Kong will have their quarantine requirement reduced from 14 days to a seven-day stay-home notice, as Singapore adds Hong Kong to the list of places where the virus is deemed to be “well under control and the risk of importation is low.”
- Singapore, in a statement late Monday, also tightened entry restrictions on several places, reflecting recent rises in cases:
- Those with recent travel to Sabah in Malaysia will now be required to serve a 14-day quarantine at dedicated facilities; reflects a recent rise in cases there
- While the rest of Malaysia requirements unchanged, Singapore says it is monitoring the situation in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor
- Travellers who’ve been to Indonesia or the Philippines within 14 days before entry, and aren’t Singapore citizens or permanent residents, will have to take a Covid-19 test within 72 hours of departure, the government said
- Those transiting through Singapore who’ve travelled to India in the last 14 days will also need to have valid negative Covid-19 test
In other travel-related measures:
- Singapore to resume issuing new visas.
- Singapore also plans to increase the number of testing sites available to travellers. There are now more than 150 clinics that give pre-departure tests.
