Singapore to impose 21-day stay-home notice for Singaporeans, PRs and long-term pass holders with travel history to Taiwan in tightening of COVID-19 measures

SINGAPORE: Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders with recent travel history to Taiwan will have to serve a 21-day stay-home notice, the Ministry of Health said on Saturday in a press release.

MOH said the measures, which take effect on May 16, 11.59pm, come in the wake of increased COVID-19 cases in Taiwan.The stay-home notice will consist of a 14-day stay at a dedicated facility, followed by an additional seven days at their place of residence. Those returning to Singapore will also undergo COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction tests on arrival, Day 14 of their stay-home notice and before the end of the 21-day period.

All visitors with recent history to Taiwan who entered Singapore between May 15 and May 16 will be subject to Government-funded COVID19 PCR tests on Day 3 and Day 7 of their arrival in Singapore, MOH said.
