“The agencies, in particular the Ministry of Manpower, as well as the Ministry of Trade and Industry, have received appeals already, so there are existing appeal cases that they are processing. This will apply to all travellers entering Singapore from 11.59pm on June 17 and testing will be done at a designated community testing facility.
MOH also announced that once the new testing regime is in place, all incoming travellers who have been in Australia, Brunei, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam for the last 14 consecutive days before their entry here will no longer have to serve their stay-home notice at designated facilities.
All inbound and outbound travellers who enter Singapore from 11.59pm on June 17 and leave the country from that date and time who are not Singapore citizens or permanent residents will be required to pay for their stay at the designated facilities when serving the notice. MOH said: “Going forward, as we reopen our borders to more international travel, those who enter Singapore would have to bear the costs of fulfilling these requirements, as part of the cost of travel in a Covid-19 world.
