Singapore looking at reciprocal green lanes for tourists amid Covid-19 outbreak

Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung recounted visiting Terminal 2 recently and being greeted by withered bougainvillea plants. But underneath one dried brown bark, he saw a bright green stem. Covid-19 has "incapacitated one of our lungs, but the Singapore heart - our determination, dynamism and enterprise - is still pumping strong", he said. - The Straits Times/Asian News Network

SINGAPORE, Aug 15 (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore may consider introducing reciprocal green lanes at Changi Airport for tourists from countries where the Covid-19 situation is similar to or better than that in Singapore.

This means leisure travellers from such a country will be exempted from having to serve a 14-day quarantine on arrival, and vice versa.
