Singapore will allow general travel to and from New Zealand and Brunei Darussalam, as the city-state eases border control measures to take into account countries where the virus situation is under control.
Travelers from the two nations will undergo a Covid-19 test upon arrival in Singapore instead of a quarantine or stay-home notice, the Ministry of Health said in a statement on Friday. These changes will take effect from Sept. 1, it said. Those going to the two countries are still subject to requirements imposed by authorities there, according to the statement.
