Summary
Singapore's Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung told Parliament Monday that the government is not imposing new restrictions on travelers from China due to limited flight capacity and current border policies. He said travel volumes between Singapore and China are very low and that Singapore is monitoring the situation through GISAID, a non-profit organization. Singapore is taking a "careful and calibrated" approach to restoring air connectivity with China and more than 60% of inbound travelers from China are Singapore citizens, permanent residents or long-term pass holders.
