Is it the shape of travel for the foreseeable future? Read More » One example is Singapore. Its Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has announced that from September 1 visitors from Brunei and New Zealand will be free to travel to Singapore, but it will not be like old times.
Firstly, they must apply for an Air Travel Pass (ATP) and be subject to certain restrictions. The flights they take into Singapore have to be non-stop with no transit stopovers.
They must have been in Brunei or New Zealand for 14 days before they travel to Singapore, take a COVID-19 test on arrival and then go directly to their accommodation by “private transportation, taxi or private hire car from the airport” where they must stay for 48 hours. If their test results clear them of the virus, they will be allowed to go about their activities in Singapore.
To facilitate the contact tracing process, visitors must download the TraceTogether app on their mobile devices and keep them activated during their stays in Singapore and for 14 days after departing the country. “This is a first step towards the revival of the Singapore air hub in a safe way while minimising risks to public health,” the CAAS said.
