Singapore: Passengers from eight countries will be allowed quarantine-free entry in Singapore. As per the new guidelines issued by the government, fully vaccinated passengers coming from the US, UK, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain will be allowed to enter the country without undergoing quarantine.

The new entry rule will come into effect from October 19. But the passengers must be tested negative in the Covid-19 test. Earlier in September, the country had allowed quarantine free entry for fully vaccinated passengers from Germany and Brunei. Passengers from South Korea will be included in the list from November. Up to 3,000 travellers will be able to enter daily through the vaccinated travel lanes.
