The Multi-Ministry Taskforce (MTF) has been closely monitoring the local and global COVID-19 situation.
Several countries continue to experience a resurgence of cases and the emergence of new virus variants which have also been found in Singapore.
The number of locally transmitted COVID-19 cases and unlinked community cases has also continued to increase, signalling undetected community transmissions that could rapidly escalate into another major outbreak if not adequately contained in a timely manner.
We will be taking decisive action to curb the COVID-19 infections in Singapore.
We will further tighten border measures to manage the risk of importation from travellers and onward local transmission.
From 7 May 2021, 2359 hours, all new travellers arriving from higher risk countries/regions will be subject to 21-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN) at dedicated SHN facilities.
We will also be tightening safe management measures to reduce the risk of community spread in this period of heightened alert.
In the upcoming weeks, it is of utmost importance that everyone be extra vigilant and take all necessary precautions against the spread of COVID-19 infections in Singapore.
