Singapore aims to start quarantine-free travel by September
Singapore is looking to allow quarantine-free travel for those who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 from September, when 80 per cent of the city-state's population should be inoculated, the government has said.
Singapore will establish travel corridors with countries or regions where Covid-19 is under control, and those who are vaccinated may not have to quarantine or may be allowed to isolate at home, Reuters quoted Finance Minister Lawrence Wong as saying.
The city-state is also set to review whether to loosen curbs in early August, when two-thirds of its population would be fully inoculated.
“The easing will be differentiated and extended to only vaccinated persons, because they are much better protected against the effects of the virus,” Wong said. “If you want to go out to dine in the restaurant or workout in the gym, you have to be fully vaccinated.”
