NSTworld New border restrictions on travellers to Singapore do not include the republic’s sea and land crossings with Malaysia. Covid19
Singapore’s co-chair of the Multi-Ministry Taskforce on Covid-19, Lawrence Wong, said while the order applies to the whole of Asean, a separate arrangement has been worked out for Malaysia through the bilateral joint working group.
Effective March 16, at 23:59 hours, all travellers entering Singapore with recent travel history to Asean countries, Japan and Switzerland; and the United Kingdom within the last 14 days; will be issued a 14-day Stay-Home Notice .Wong, who is also National Development Minister, said that on land crossings alone, 200,000 people move across the checkpoints daily and the imposition of a 14-day SHN requirement would be very difficult and disruptive for both countries.
In addition, they will have to provide proof of the place where they will serve the 14-day SHN – for example, a hotel booking covering the entire period, or a place of residence they or their family members own.
