Cross-border travel restrictions will be eased substantially from Tuesday as the Covid-19 situation comes under control, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

In a national address broadcast live on Thursday , Mr Lee said testing and quarantine requirements for travellers will be streamlined under a simplified Vaccinated Travel Framework.PM Lee said these changes will allow Singaporeans to travel freely abroad more easily, almost like they did before Covid-19, and reconnect Singapore with the world.

"It will give a much-needed boost to businesses, particularly the tourism sector, and help Singapore reclaim its position as a business and aviation hub," he added. Under the current Vaccinated Travel Lane scheme, only travellers who remain in VTL-designated countries for the previous seven days before entering Singapore can be exempted from quarantine and isolation requirements.
