Singapore Bans Entry to Travel from Indonesia

Singapore, MINA – Singapore bans all travel from Indonesia to enter the country due to the increase in Covid-19 cases.

Travelers with a history of travel to Indonesia in the last 21 days will also not be allowed to transit through Singapore starting Monday at 23:59 local time.

“Given the deteriorating situation in Indonesia, we will tighten our border measures for travelers from Indonesia, by immediately reducing entry permits for non-Singaporean Nationals/Permanent Residents,” Singapore’s Multi-Ministerial Task Force said in an official statement on Sunday, as quoted from Anadolu Agency.

Travelers entering Singapore must also present a valid negative Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test result taken within 48 hours of departure to the country.
