All travellers entering Singapore who are serving their stay-home notice (SHN) outside of dedicated facilities will soon have to wear an electronic monitoring device.
From Aug 10, 11.59pm, such travellers will have to wear the device throughout the 14-day stay-home period.
They include citizens, permanent residents, long-term pass holders, work pass holders and their dependants. Children aged 12 and below are exempted.
The stay-home rule was extended to all incoming travellers from March 21. Travellers serve the notice either at their home or at dedicated facilities, and are tested for Covid-19 at designated community testing facilities before the end of the stay-home period.
In a joint statement on Monday (Aug 3), the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and the ministries of Manpower and Education (MOM) said the devices will allow them to monitor those serving the SHN more effectively as travel restrictions are progressively lifted.
The devices are a change from the combination of text messages, voice and video calls and house visits the authorities have been using to make sure the rules are observed.
