Singapore’s minister for trade and industry Chan Chun Sing has announced a new initiative that will enable entry from “a limited number of business, official, and high economic value travellers from all countries who are coming to Singapore for short-term stays of up to 14 days”.
The [email protected] scheme, which will begin in mid-January, will “allow us to establish ourselves as a safe and secure meeting place for travellers who may not otherwise be able to conduct face-to-face meetings due to travel restrictions between their countries,” said Chan.
The scheme will require travellers to stay at an appointed facility during the entirety of their visit to the country, undergo regular routine rapid Covid tests during their stay and strictly observe all prevailing safe management measures in the country.
