Changi Airport terminals, Jewel to close to public for 2 weeks
SINGAPORE – All passenger terminals at Changi Airport will be closed to the public from Thursday (13 May) for two weeks.
Jewel will also be closed for the same duration – these premises will open on 27 May.
In a press release on Wednesday evening, Changi Airport Group (CAG) said that this is to facilitate mandatory COVID-19 testing for all affected staff. The special testing operation was started on 9 May.
This was after a growing cluster of cases was identified at the airport.
Open to travellers
CAG added that the airport remains open for air travel during this period.
"Passengers may also continue to be dropped off and picked up from the airport," it said. "Access to the passenger terminal buildings will be restricted to only passengers with air tickets and essential airport workers. Some essential services and food & beverage outlets will remain open to serve them."
There are now 25 COVID-19 cases linked to the Changi Airport cluster, including seven new infections announced by the Ministry of Health on Wednesday.

SINGAPORE: Tenants at Jewel Changi Airport are hoping for assistance from the mall operator to cope with the two-week closure that started on Thursday (May 13).
Jewel, as well as terminals 1 and 3, are closed to the public amid a rise in the number of cases linked to the airport. Authorities had begun special testing operations for workers there.
A few tenants told CNA over email that they have been in touch with Jewel Changi Airport to get assistance.
Jewel Changi Airport had “proactively reached out to offer rebates on rent” for the two-week closure period, said Mr Edwin Lim, director of gelato shop Birds of Paradise.
“In Good Company and Birds of Paradise Gelato Boutique, being collaborators at the premises, continue to operate our stores at other locations. Each brand also continues to operate our online stores,” he added.
At Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory, which has another outlet at Raffles City, the company is “currently in communication” with Jewel Changi Airport.
“We believe that they will do what they can to aid us, as well as fellow Jewel tenants. We will continue to maintain an open channel of communication with (them) to seek goodwill assistance,” the management told CNA.
All workers from the Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory at Jewel have tested negative for COVID-19, having received the results on May 13, the management added.
Rich & Good Cake Shop, however, has not heard from Jewel Changi Airport when it responded to CNA's queries on Friday.
“We will definitely be severely impacted, as we have staff and a central kitchen to support. Our central kitchen bakes solely to supply our Jewel outlet, and to lose revenue from that outlet due to COVID-19 closures two years in a row is very damaging for our business,” said Ms Jerelyn Foo, the company’s media and operations manager.
“We will be opening our other outlet at Kandahar Street on Sundays and public holidays during these two weeks to cater to the demand."
The cake shop, she added, had “minimal staff” at the Jewel outlet, so they were able to “clear the swab test quickly”.
Men's grooming salon Sultans of Shave said even before the closure, business has already been slower at their Jewel outlet in the past few months.
It now has no choice but to cancel all appointments at Jewel.
“Our staff at Jewel will undergo mandatory swab tests and have been advised to opt in to the vaccination plan for all personnel working in Changi Airport. We have also arranged for the outlet to be cleaned and sanitised more frequently,” said its group marketing executive Cin Yi.
CNA has contacted Jewel Changi Airport for more information.

Rebates, not waiver. In the end your money still kena makan'ed by Liew Mun Leong and the CAG scholars.
Here's an idea: shut the Changi Jewel down for a year, and offer rebates on rent for 12 months. Fabulous deal.
Liew Mun Leong already resigned as Changi Airport chairman after the disgraceful episode relating to his maid.

SINGAPORE - Changi Airport turned silent on the first day of its closure to the public, even though there was a steady stream of airport workers returning for their Covid-19 swab tests.
A few shoppers, unaware of the temporary closure of Jewel and restricted access to the terminal buildings, showed up. But they were turned away.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Changi Airport Group (CAG) had announced on Wednesday night (May 12) that they would allow only some workers and travellers to access the airport terminal buildings for two weeks from Thursday.
Jewel would be closed during this period too.
The closure comes as the authorities embark on a massive Covid-19 testing of airport workers following a surge in the number of Covid-19 daily cases linked to a cleaner at the airport.
CAAS and CAG said they will continue to review and adjust measures as needed. This includes extending the closure if necessary.
When The Straits Times visited the area around Terminal 3 on Thursday morning, a few people were seen walking around inside in full personal protective equipment.
The departure hall was largely empty, except for a handful of people with their luggage.
The entrance to the link bridge at Terminal 3 connecting to Jewel was manned by a security guard, who scanned passes presented by workers before letting them through.
Meanwhile, the usual access to Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 via the underground bus stops was closed off.
Notices about the airport's closure to the public were pasted on the doors. Those looking to enter the airport were asked to enter via the visitor pass office.
At Terminal 3, even airport staff were not allowed to leave or enter through the usual exit to the bus bay.
The closure of the doors to the bus bay at Terminal 3 created confusion among several airport staff, many of whom were reporting for their Covid-19 swab tests.
A few workers who came to the airport by bus waited outside the doors without avail for a security officer seated inside to let them in. Another worker who wanted to go to the MRT station was similarly confused.
They eventually made their way into the airport through a side entrance which led directly to the station.
On this route, which spans about 20m, access to the rest of Terminal 3 was cordoned off with metal barriers.
Airport staff were also deployed in front of the escalator leading up from the MRT station. Everyone, except workers or travellers, was denied access.
Madam Nordah Jaafar, 64, who works at one of the stalls in the Terminal 3 Kopitiam foodcourt where Covid-19 cases have visited, said she is worried about her income now that she is unable to work for two weeks.
She was at the airport waiting to head to Terminal 4 for her Covid-19 swab test.
"I will have to talk to my boss then see how... lucky my husband and son are both working," she said.
A few members of the public were seen trying to enter Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 during the time that ST was there. Those who were trying to enter Terminal 1 said they wanted to go to Jewel Changi Airport either for lunch or to shop.
One shopper wanted to go to the Apple store in Jewel. The shopper, who declined to be named, said: "I was quite surprised, I had thought it would open as it is a public holiday today."
Mr Stanley Koh, 61, who works in the air cargo sector, was disappointed to find the doors to Terminal 3 closed. The Tampines resident had regularly visited the airport to pass time.
"I heard about the cases, but I thought it was isolated to just a part of the airport, so I wanted to come here to pass time," Mr Koh said in Mandarin. "This seems serious... but I don't think it's useful at this stage, the government should have closed the borders earlier."
