SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): From next Monday (May 23), Singapore and the African Union (AU) will begin recognising each other's digital Covid-19 vaccination certificates, making travel to the 55 member states-bloc easier.

With the move, those fully vaccinated in Singapore need only upload their digital vaccination certificates issued by the Ministry of Health to have their status verified on the AU's Trusted Travel (TT) and Trusted Vaccines (TV) platforms, allowing quarantine-free travel.
