Are you planning to visit Singapore or travel within Singapore? Well, passengers in Singapore have to follow the travel guidelines set by the country to counter the spread of COVID-19. The travel guidelines are decided by the Singaporean government and are updated according to the current COVID-19 situation.

• To date, Singapore has witnessed around 62,668 cases, out of which 62,341 have recovered. To date, there have been 36 deaths in Singapore due to the COVID pandemic. The lesser number of COVID-19 active cases currently has led to a relaxation in travel restrictions.

• From 12th July 2021, five people can be allowed to dine at a restaurant together and should be strictly followed as per the latest social distancing norms.
