The Multi-Ministry Taskforce (MTF) announced on 11 March that with effect from 15 March onwards, travelers entering Singapore via the Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTLs) or are coming from Category 1 area, will be able to take a non-supervised ART test.
This will replace the current requirement for travelers to take a supervised self swab ART test, with the results needing to be submitted online through Sync.gov.sg within 24 hours, according to CNA and Today.
These incoming travelers will need to submit their results before they can go on with their activities in Singapore.
The new ruling applies to fully vaccinated travelers coming from Category 1 areas such as China, Taiwan, Macau and etc; as well as those entering Singapore via VTLS such as the US, Australia and etc.
They are still required to take a pre-departure test within 2 days before their flight for Singapore.
MOH said that the new ruling is in response to the numbers of imported infections staying very low over the last weeks, making up just 1% of total daily cases.
