Returning citizens, permanent residents require negative PCR test 3 days before flight home

The Ministry of Health extends the pre-departure testing requirement to all Singapore citizens and permanent residents.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) updated its COVID-19 test requirements to include Singapore citizens and permanent residents.

As of May 29, Singapore citizens and permanent residents will also be required to present valid negative COVID-19 plymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests taken 72 hours before their departure to Singapore. This has long been a requirement for long-term pass holders and short-term visitors.

Upon arrival, both citizens and residents would have to take another PCR test before they are brought to Stay-Home Notice (SHN) facilities.

Travellers from low-risk regions of Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Mainland China, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Macao are excempt from the 72-hour test requirement, but will still have to take either a PCR test upon arrival or serve a 7-day SHN at their place of residence.

Singaporeans who test positive for COVID-19 while overseas and require urgent medical care in Singapore can still return through medevac flight or other equivalent forms of transport.

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.
