SINGAPORE – Singapore residents should defer all non-essential travel, and border restrictions have been tightened to include all Asean states, as the Republic moves to reduce the growing risk of Covid-19 importation.
With immediate effect, Singaporeans are advised to defer all non-essential travel abroad to reduce their risks of contracting the virus during this pandemic, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Sunday (March 15).
This advisory will apply for 30 days and is subject to further review.
From 11.59pm on Monday, all travellers – including Singapore citizens, permanent residents, long-term pass holders and short-term visitors – entering Singapore with recent travel history to Asean countries, Japan, Switzerland or the United Kingdom within the last 14 days will be issued a 14-day stay-home notice (SHN).
But this will exclude Singaporeans and Malaysians using sea and land crossings with Malaysia, given the large numbers who cross the borders daily, said National Development Minister Lawrence Wong on Sunday.
