Latest Update - Singapore COVID
Requiring Pre-Departure Tests (PDT) for Travellers from India (wef 17 Sept 2020)
The Ministry of Health (MOH) have been closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in India. There have been reports of a resurgence of infections in India. Singapore has also observed a significant number of imported cases with recent travel history to India. To reduce the risk of importation of cases from India, travellers who are not Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents and who have recent travel history to India within the last 14 days prior to entry will be required to take a COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test within 72 hours before departure. Travellers will need to present a valid negative COVID-19 test result as a condition of approval to enter Singapore. This requirement will take effect for those arriving in Singapore from 17 September 2020, and will apply on top of the existing requirements of a 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN) at dedicated SHN facilities and a negative COVID-19 test before the end of their SHN. Singapore’s border measures will evolve as the global situation changes. We encourage everyone to check the MOH website regularly for the latest updates. #indianstudents #studyinsingapore
