Singapore - Press Release On All Inbound Travellers Who Are Not SC or PR, except those from lower-risk countries/ regions, will need to take a COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours before departure

As Singapore continue on our journey towards Phase Three, the Multi-Ministry Taskforce will continue to build on our efforts to enable the public and businesses to resume normal activities as much as possible, within safe limits. 

The Multi-Ministry Taskforce  aim to safeguard both lives and livelihoods, and will seek to buffer the social and economic impact of the pandemic on Singaporeans, even as we strive to protect Singaporeans from the risk of COVID-19 infection.

To reduce the risks of importation, Singapore have required travellers who are not Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, and who have recent travel history to India, Indonesia and the Philippines, to present a valid negative COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test to enter or transfer through Singapore. 

To further reduce importation risk from similarly high-risk countries/regions, from 17 November 2020 2359 hours, all inbound travellers who are not Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents, except those from lower-risk countries/ regions , will need to take a COVID-19 PCR test within 72 hours before departure. These travellers will still be required to serve their SHN upon arrival in Singapore and be tested at the end of their SHN.
