Non-fully vaccinated travelers entering Singapore will no longer be required to undergo a seven-day home quarantine upon arrival starting from 11:59 p.m. local time on Aug. 28 after the latest Omicron BA.5 wave has subsided in the city-state, the health authority said on Wednesday.
Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a press release here on Wednesday that the country had weathered the Omicron BA.5 subvariant wave without additional domestic or travel restrictions thanks to high vaccination and boosting rates, and Singapore is now able to take another step towards living with COVID-19.
According to the press release, the current requirement that non-fully vaccinated Long-Term Pass Holders and Special Tourist Visa Holders aged 13 and above are required to apply for entry approval to enter Singapore will also be lifted at the same time.
However, non-fully vaccinated travelers will continue to be required to test negative on a pre-departure test within two days before departing for Singapore.
