March 28, 2022: -Singapore will ease most of its Covid restrictions, including outdoor mask mandates starting March 29, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced Thursday.
Limits on social gatherings will be doubled from five to 10 people; more employees can return to offices, and capacity limits for significant events will be increased, Lee said in a national address.
Masks will still be needed indoors, and safe distancing of 1 meter between groups in mask-off settings will still be required.
Throughout the pandemic, Singapore has been more consistent and strict about measures such as mask mandates and traceability than most rest of the world.
Lee also said Singapore will “drastically streamline” testing and quarantine requirements, making travel abroad easier — “almost like before Covid-19.”
“Resume more normal lives, enjoy larger gatherings of family and friends, go outdoors without masks, or reunite with loved ones abroad,” Lee said. “But do not throw all caution to the wind.”
On travel restrictions and measures, all fully vaccinated travelers and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below can enter Singapore without applying for entry approvals starting April 1.
They will not be tested upon arrival in Singapore, Transport Minister S. Iswaran said at a press briefing.
Travel-related stocks jumped on Thursday following the national address. Singapore Airlines rose 4.25%, while ground-handling and in-flight catering services firm Sats gained 5.04%.
Under current arrangements, fully vaccinated travelers have to enter Singapore on specific flights to avoid quarantines. They must also take an on-arrival antigen rapid test.
Pre-departure tests will be removed for people entering via land borders but will still be needed for those entering via air and sea routes.
They are returning Singapore residents who previously needed to pay for Covid-related medical bills if they tested positive within 14 days of their arrival but will no longer need to with immediate effect.
The peak of the omicron wave in Singapore appears to have passed. New daily cases stood at 8,940 on Wednesday, down from 26,032 infections on February 22.
The majority of people infected in Singapore have mild or no symptoms. Around 0.3% required oxygen supplementation over the last 28 days, and 0.04% were in the intensive care unit.
As of Tuesday, 92% of the population has completed the primary vaccination series, while 71% has received boosters.
Authorities announced a second booster dose for people 80 years old, people living in nursing homes, and medically vulnerable people. The recommended time to take that shot is five months after the first booster dose.
