Singapore will allow people arriving from Australia and Switzerland to enter without having to quarantine from Nov. 8, as the Southeast Asian nation takes another step in reopening borders and reviving its economy and status as an aviation hub.
Fully-vaccinated travelers from the two countries will be able to enter Singapore freely after taking Covid-19 polymerase chain reaction tests. Children under 12 who aren’t inoculated will be allowed if accompanied by someone who is eligible to use the so-called vaccinated travel lane, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said Tuesday.
