Singapore sets sights on opening to all vaccinated travelers
Singapore aims to open to all fully-vaccinated travelers sooner rather than later as the Asian country targets restoring passenger volumes to at least 50% of pre-Covid levels this year, Transport Minister S. Iswaran said.
Vaccinated travel lanes “are really a mechanism to manage the volumes” and the next phase will be to move toward quarantine-free travel for all inoculated passengers, Iswaran said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s Haslinda Amin. Then the “volume control will be relaxed.”
Singapore has vaccinated travel lanes with 32 countries and regions.
