SG implements compulsory ART for land VTL from MY

The tests start on 29 November.

Given recent reports of a potentially more contagious variant of the COVID-19 virus, all travellers arriving in Singapore from Malaysia via the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) on land will be required to undertake an Antigen Rapid Test (ART) upon arrival.

From 29 November, the first land VTL travellers arriving in Singapore must undergo the test.

The on-arrival ART for travellers arriving in Singapore via the land VTL will be administered at the Woodlands Temporary Bus Interchange and Queen Street Terminal. Travellers will be required to make an e-payment for the ART at the testing centre directly. 

Singapore and Malaysia launched the land VTL across the Causeway to further restore the connectivity between the two countries. The on-arrival ART aims to reduce the risk of the spread of the new variant to Singapore and progressively expand the land VTL in a safe and calibrated manner.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
