SINGAPORE: Singapore will allow travelers from Israel to serve a part of their 21-day stay-home notice at a place of residence, the Ministry of Health (MOH) stated on Monday.
Currently, travelers from Israel must spend the entirety of their 21-day stay-home notice at a dedicated facility.
Given the improving situation in Israel, travelers who have remained within the nation for 21 days before arriving in Singapore will be allowed to spend the last seven days of their 21-day stay-home notice at a place of residence or self-sourced accommodation, stated MOH.
This measure will take effect for travelers from Israel who arrive in Singapore from 11.59 pm on Jun 16.
The Health Ministry on Monday also updated Singapore’s border measures for travelers from Fiji.
“Given the worsening situation in Fiji, we will be tightening border measures for travelers from Fiji” with fast effect, stated MOH.
All travelers who have spent time in Fiji 21 days earlier than arriving in Singapore might be required to serve a 21-day stay-home notice at a dedicated facility.
Prior to this, travelers from Fiji were allowed to spend the last seven days of their stay-home notice at a place of residence or self-sourced accommodation.
“Travellers who haven’t completed their 14-day stay-home notice at dedicated stay-home notice facilities by 11.59 pm on Jun 16, will be required to serve the additional seven days at their current dedicated stay-home notice facility,” MOH stated.
These travelers will be contacted regarding the additional costs to be paid, the Health Ministry added.
Travelers who’re currently serving their stay-home notice at a place of residence or self-sourced accommodation will be required to complete their 21-day stay-home notice at their current location to minimize movement and risk of transmission, stated MOH.
All travelers serving a 21-day stay-home notice will undergo COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction tests on arrival, on Day 14 of their stay-home notice, and before the end of their 21-day stay-home notice period.
The Health Ministry stated it’ll continue to adjust Singapore’s border measures to manage the risk of importation and transmission to the community as the global COVID-19 situation evolves.
