Banning travellers from countries such as India and Indonesia would impact the lives of many here and lead to an economic slowdown, Senior Minister of State for Health Koh Poh Koon told Parliament yesterday.
Rather than close the borders to them entirely, Singapore needs to adopt a risk management approach to the inflow of such travellers, he said in response to Progress Singapore Party Non-Constituency MP Leong Mun Wai.
Mr Leong had asked about the decision to keep the borders open to these travellers. He said a disproportionately large number of imported Covid-19 cases originated from the two countries.
