SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore will remove most remaining COVID-19 restrictions from April 26, in response to a decline in new daily infections, its health ministry said on Friday.

The measures include removing limits on group sizes, allowing the full return of employees to workplaces and scrapping a requirement for vaccinated travellers to take a COVID test before departing for Singapore.
