2 Singapore Airlines passengers test positive for Omicron variant

Their pre-departure tests in South Africa on 26 November were negative.

Australia's New South Wales Ministry of Health confirmed two travellers who arrived in Sydney on a Singapore Airlines flight had tested positive for the Omicron variant of concern.

The travellers departed from Johannesburg on 27 November via Singapore Airlines and arrived at Changi Airport on the same day for their transit flight. They remained in the transit area at Changi Airport until their departure for Sydney on 28 November and did not enter Singapore or visit other areas in Changi Airport.

Contact tracing is ongoing for airport staff who may have come into transient contact with the cases.

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.
