Coronavirus: Work-pass holders who recently travelled to affected areas in South Korea need approval to enter Singapore

SINGAPORE - All work pass holders who travelled to South Korea's Daegu city and Cheongdo county in the last 14 days will need to get approval before entering Singapore, as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases have spiked in these areas.

All affected work-pass holders who return to Singapore will have to stay at their place of residence here for 14 days. When applying for an affected worker’s entry approval, employers must declare to MOM that they have arranged for suitable premises to house these returning employees during the 14-day stay-home notice period.

Both employers and work-pass holders have to ensure that the 14-day stay-home period is complied with.
