SINGAPORE: Travellers who are not Singaporeans or permanent residents entering Singapore from high-risk countries will need to take a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test within 72 hours before their departure.
This is part of the country’s plans to reduce the risk of imported cases from high-risk countries and regions, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a statement on Tuesday (Nov 10).
The pre-departure requirement will begin on Nov 18.
These travellers will still be required to serve their stay-home notice upon arrival in Singapore and will be tested at the end of their stay-home notice, MOH said.
