Nation tightens border measures


Safety first: Travellers entering Singapore will now face stricter rules. — AFP

The relaxation of social measures will be paused, and travellers entering Singapore will face stricter rules from 11.59pm tomorrow, as the country acts to buy time amid the spread of the new Omicron Covid-19 variant around the world.

The moves come as Singapore works to assess the implications of the new Covid-19 variant that has already spread to at least 16 countries, after the variant was identified in South Africa last week.
