All travellers arriving from India to Singapore need to serve an additional seven-day SHN (Stay-Home Notice) at their place of residence, following a 14-day SHN at dedicated facilities, starting from April 22, 2359 hours.
Furthermore, Singapore will tighten border measures for people with recent travel history to India by reducing entry approvals for non-Singapore citizens/ permanent residents with immediate effect.
Singapore’s Ministry of Health said in an official update, “Given the worsening situation in India, and the emergence of new virus variants, we will tighten border measures for travellers from India by reducing entry approvals for non-Singapore citizens/ permanent residents, and subjecting all travellers arriving from India to an additional seven-day SHN at their place of residence, following their 14-day SHN at dedicated SHN facilities from April 22, 2021, 2359 hours.”
They will be tested at the end of their SHN (as per the current requirement), and again after they have completed their seven-day SHN period.
Travellers who are yet to complete their 14-day SHN by April 22, 2021, 2359 hours, will also be subjected to the additional seven-day SHN.
Migrant workers arriving from India in the construction, marine, and process sectors will continue to be subjected to a 21-day SHN.
The Ministry of Health stated that these measures will minimise importation risks and protect public health.
