Singapore’s government has decided to withdraw the requirement of pre-departure Covid-19 testing for fully vaccinated travellers and unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated children aged 12 and under, beginning April 26.

Singapore To End Covid-19 Curbs

The Ministry of Health said in a statement that it was now able to further relax pandemic era restrictions, which amounted to one of Singapore’s most “significant steps” toward normalcy. Constraints on group size will be eliminated, as physical distance, and capacity limits for major gatherings will be eased.

After the statement of the Health Ministry, Singapore Airlines has also issued an update and said, “From 26 April 2022, fully vaccinated travellers and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below do not need to take a pre-departure test for entry into Singapore”

Singapore will be the first major Asian economy to remove all restrictions on fully vaccinated travellers entering the island city, as the government works to recover the aviation and tourism businesses that were damaged by the pandemic.

As of now fully vaccinated travellers to Singapore must comply with the requirement of a PCR/ Antigen test or present medical proof of prior Covid-19 infection along with positive PCR or antigen test result.
