Singapore limits Taiwan travel as both countries battle Covid-19 resurgence


SINGAPORE/TAIPEI, May 16 (Bloomberg): Singapore won’t allow entry to short-term travelers holding an Air Travel Pass with travel history to Taiwan within the past 21 days amid rising infections.

Others with travel history to Taiwan in the past 21 days who are not Singapore citizens or permanent residents will be required to take a test within 72 hours before departure, and would need to present a negative test result as a condition of approval for entry, the Singapore Ministry of Health said in a statement late on Saturday (May 15).
