SINGAPORE – From next Monday (July 20), travellers entering Singapore after visits to – including transits in – Japan, Hong Kong and the Australian state of Victoria within the last 14 days will be required to serve their stay-home notice (SHN) at dedicated facilities instead of at their own place of residence.
They will also have to undergo a Covid-19 test before they end their SHN.
The new measures come as these places have seen a recent resurgence of Covid-19 cases.
Specifically, travellers who left Singapore from March 27, despite the prevailing travel advisory against leaving the country, are required to pay for their stay at dedicated SHN facilities. Travellers who are not Singapore citizens or permanent residents are also required to pay for their stay at dedicated SHN facilities.
The Straits Times understands that the cost of each 14-day stay is about $2,000. The Covid-19 test for each person costs an additional $200.
