Due to the coronavirus outbreak, India has issued a travel advisory on Singapore and asked its citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to the south-east Asian business hub.
This was decided at a high-level review meeting taken by Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba on COVID-19.
Four new countries are being added to the list for screening at airports. After a detailed review, in addition to the universal screening as per earlier advisories, universal screening at airports is now being planned for flights from Kathmandu, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
In furtherance to the travel advisory issued earlier, citizens have been advised to avoid all non-essential travel to Singapore.
As on date, 21,805 passengers have been brought under community surveillance. In addition, 3.97 lakh flight passengers and 9,695 travelers at seaports have been screened.
