Singapore on Friday moved to further relax coronavirus travel restrictions for incoming travellers from “low-risk” territories such as mainland China , Taiwan and Malaysia , with senior officials adding that the city state was moving towards allowing full fledged travel to Brunei and New Zealand .
The move came as the government said it would look for ways to revive the tourism industry, one of the hardest-hit sectors, as the trade reliant economy heads for a record full-year contraction.
Education minister Lawrence Wong, who co-chairs a multi-ministerial task force that deals with the coronavirus, said travellers from “low-risk” regions – which also include Vietnam , Macau and Australia (excluding the state of Victoria) – would now serve a seven-day stay-home notice, rather than the 14-days required for all other travellers. They would still be required to take a coronavirus test before the end of their isolation period, he said.
Travel restrictions for Brunei and New Zealand would be relaxed even further.
