Singapore will remove all COVID-19 border measures on Monday, February 13th, when the country's disease alert is reduced to its lowest level.
This is due to the improvement of the worldwide pandemic situation and the little impact of imported cases on Singapore's healthcare capabilities, the Ministry of Health announced on Thursday.
Additionally, the government will remove nearly all of its existing COVID-19 limitations, including as the mask requirement for public transit.
Once the border restrictions are removed, all travelers, including those who are not vaccinated, will no longer be required to present evidence of a negative pre-departure test before entering Singapore.
Visitors who are not vaccinated will no longer be required to acquire COVID-19 travel insurance.
Nonetheless, Singapore is prepared to reinstate restrictions under its Vaccinated Travel Framework if "international events of concern" occur, according to the ministry. This includes the introduction of novel severe variations or indications that imported cases are straining Singapore's healthcare system.
The screening of travelers for dangerous illnesses such as Yellow Fever, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and Ebola will also continue. When entering the nation, all travelers, including Singapore citizens, will be required to file a health declaration using the SG Arrival Card e-service.
Before entering Singapore, travelers should check the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority's website for the latest border procedures, according to the health ministry.
