Travellers arriving in Singapore from India to serve 21-day stay-home notice

Wednesday, 21 Apr 2021 01:46 PM MYTSubscribe to ourSINGAPORE, April 21 — Travellers with recent travel history to India will soon have to serve a 21-day stay-home notice in Singapore, up from the current 14 days. The Ministry of Health announced this yesterday, as the Covid-19 situation in the South Asian country worsens.

With immediate effect, the ministry will also cut the number of approvals for people entering Singapore if they are not citizens or permanent residents here and have a recent travel history to India. Hong Kong on Monday announced it will ban flights from India, as well as Pakistan and the Philippines, after the N501Y mutant Covid-19 stain was detected in the territory for the first time.

Long-term pass holders and short-term visitors with travel history to the United Kingdom and South Africa within the last 14 days will, from 11.59pm on Thursday, be allowed entry into Singapore, after the authorities earlier restricted entry and transit due to concerns of a more contagious coronavirus strain.
