Amid heightened fears about the global spread of the novel coronavirus, Singapore has said it remains open for business and that it has put effective measures in place to prevent the transmission of COVID-19, the disease resulting from the virus.
Singapore’s ambassador to Indonesia Anil Kumar Nayar said that from an economic standpoint, a complete lockdown of the country was impossible and co-operation between countries in the region was needed to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
“I have to emphasise that Singapore is safe as far as COVID-19 is concerned. Our Indonesian friends who have business in Singapore, who would like to visit Singapore, please continue to do so,” Kumar Nayar said at a press briefing on Monday in Jakarta.
Kumar Nayar said that authorities in Singapore would be strict about border control for inbound travellers and would pay closer attention to those who had travel histories to places that had seen an outbreak of the coronavirus, like China and South Korea.
