S’pore to enhance testing for VTL-Air amid new variant

SINGAPORE: The island republic will enhance its testing protocols for travellers arriving in the republic from Dec 3, 2021, including those entering via the air Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL-Air) as it steps up efforts to detect and contain the Omicron variant.

All travellers on the VTL-Air scheme who arrived after the cut-off date and time, will have to undergo additional supervised self-administered Antigen Rapid Tests (ART) at a Quick Test Centre on days three and seven of their arrival.
