Singapore Lifts All Covid-19 Border Measures


(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor)

Singapore : Travellers who are not fully vaccinated against Covid-19 no longer need to show proof of a negative pre-departure test before entering Singapore. There is also no need to show proof of vaccination before arrival there.

The Republic lifted all remaining border restrictions that were put in place during the pandemic on February 13.

Short-term visitors to Singapore who are not fully vaccinated are also not required to buy travel insurance that covers Covid-19 medical treatment here, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a statement on February 9.

However, the vaccinated travel framework that has been in place since April 2022 still remains.

MOH said it may be reactivated if there are international developments of concern, such as new severe variants or signs that the healthcare capacity here is strained.

'This will allow us to quickly adjust the risk classification of countries, as well as our border measures based on the travellers' vaccination status, should the need arise,' said Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong during a press conference held by the multi-ministry taskforce tackling Covid-19.
