Singapore announces major easing of Covid-19 rules from April 26: What you need to know

SINGAPORE - Group size limits and safe distancing requirements will be removed, as part of a large-scale easing of Covid-19 measures announced on Friday (April 22).

The Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (Dorscon) level, which indicates the current disease situation, will also be lowered from orange to yellow from Tuesday.

Singapore has been at Dorscon orange since Feb 7, 2020.

This comes as daily infection numbers continue to fall and have stabilised, giving the Government the confidence to proceed with further easing of community and travel measures, said the Ministry of Health (MOH).

While cautioning that potential curve balls may knock Singapore back to square one, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said during a press conference that "on the whole, things continue to look up for us".

"Our social resilience is strong and now we are in a comfortable position. We can therefore afford to take further steps to restore pre-Covid-19 normalcy," he said.

Here are the changes announced:

1. No more group size limits and no more requirement for safe distancing

From April 26, individuals will not need to keep to a group of 10 people for mask-off activities.

The cap on the number of unique visitors to a household, previously 10 people at any one time, will also be lifted.

This also applies to attendance limits for home marriage solemnisations and home funerals.

As group size limits are lifted, safe distancing will also no longer be required between individuals or between groups, both indoors and outdoors.

2. Masks still required indoors

Masks will continue to be required in indoor settings when people leave their homes, including on public transport.

Masks will remain optional in outdoor settings. However, the Health Ministry encourages individuals to exercise precaution. For example, in crowded outdoor areas, it would still be a good idea to wear masks, it said.

3. All workers may return to the workplace; masks can be removed in some situations

From April 26, all workers may return to the workplace, up from the current limit of 75 per cent of those who can work from home.

Notwithstanding the mask-on requirement in indoor settings, workers will be allowed to remove their masks at the workplace if they are not interacting physically with others and are not in customer-facing areas.

The Health Ministry encourages employers to retain and promote flexible work arrangements, such as telecommuting and staggered work hours, as a permanent feature of the workplace.

4. Capacity limits removed for large events with more than 1,000 participants

Currently, larger settings or events with more than 1,000 participants and that require masks to be worn are subject to a capacity limit of 75 per cent.

From April 26, this limit will be removed.

The only exceptions are nightlife businesses where dancing among patrons is one of the intended activities. These will continue to be subject to a 75 per cent capacity limit.

5. Pre-departure test before entry to Singapore no longer needed if fully vaccinated

From April 26, all fully vaccinated travellers and non-fully vaccinated children aged 12 and below arriving via air or sea checkpoints, will no longer be required to take a pre-departure test before departing for Singapore.

Currently, fully vaccinated travellers arriving via these checkpoints must take a test within two days of their departure for Singapore.

Entry requirements for non-fully vaccinated travellers remain unchanged.

All non-fully vaccinated travellers aged 13 and above who are allowed to enter Singapore are required to take a pre-departure test within two days before departure for Singapore, undergo a seven-day stay-home notice period, and take a polymerase chain reaction test for Covid-19 at the end of their stay-home notice period.

6. Vaccination-differentiated safe management measures removed in most settings; workforce vaccination measures lifted

Vaccination-differentiated safe management measures (VDS) will be removed from April 26 for most settings.

They will remain for events with more than 500 participants at any one time, such as larger-scale gala dinners, weddings, dinner and dance events; nightlife establishments where dancing among patrons is one of the intended activities; and food and beverage (F&B) establishments, including restaurants, coffee shops and hawker centres.

But while VDS is still required at F&B establishments, these businesses will no longer need to conduct vaccination status checks on their customers. The onus will be on individuals to abide by the rules.

At the same time, workforce vaccination measures will also be lifted nationally. The measures had required employers to ensure that those returning to the workplace are fully vaccinated.

Given that the pandemic is not yet over, tripartite partners have agreed that employers should have the flexibility to continue implementing vaccination-related instructions for employees for workplace health and safety and business continuity reasons, and in accordance with employment law, said the Health Ministry.

7. Step down in use of TraceTogether and SafeEntry

As most venues will no longer require the public to check in using the TraceTogether app or token as part of vaccination-differentiated safe management measures, the use of TraceTogether and SafeEntry will cease.

However, these capabilities will be maintained as a means of conducting VDS checks where necessary, and to enable the Government to rapidly step up contact tracing and checks should it need to do so again in response to any new variant of concern, said MOH.

The public is therefore strongly encouraged to keep the TraceTogether application on their phones as well as their TraceTogether tokens, it said.

Any generated TraceTogether or SafeEntry data may continue to be used by police officers and law enforcement officers for criminal investigations and proceedings in respect of serious offences, as provided for under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act.

READ FULL STORY: TraceTogether no longer required in most settings from April 26

8. No more health risk notices

From April 26, MOH will stop issuing health risk notices to close contacts of Covid-19 positive cases.

Individuals infected with Covid-19 will no longer need to submit details of household contacts online, but should continue to exercise social responsibility.

They should inform their close contacts, who can take the necessary precautions and test themselves before leaving their homes, to prevent further spread, said MOH.

Settings with vulnerable people, such as hospitals, nursing homes and elderly homes, should request proof of a negative antigen rapid test (ART) result for people with recent exposure before allowing them entry.

9. No more free community ART 

The Government has been providing free community ART and weekend acute respiratory infection testing at combined test centres (CTCs) and quick test centres (QTCs) during the Omicron wave to alleviate the workload at general practitioner clinics and other healthcare facilities.

With the declining case numbers and easing workload, these free tests will cease from April 26.

Paid ART will still be available for members of the public at the CTCs, QTCs, general practitioner clinics or via tele-ART providers.

10. Resumption of cross-border bus and taxi services to Malaysia

Following the reopening of Singapore and Malaysia land borders for fully vaccinated travellers on April 1, the Land Transport Authority, together with the public transport operators, will resume the operation of cross-border bus services from May 1.

Singapore bus operators will reinstate cross-border bus services between Singapore and Johor Baru. These include services 160, 170 and 170X operated by SBS Transit, service 950 operated by SMRT Buses, and services TS1, TS3, TS6 and TS8 operated by Transtar Travel.

Cross-border taxi operations will also resume on May 1.

Commuters travelling to Johor can either board a taxi at the Queen Street taxi terminal or book one through taxi companies with licensed cross-border taxi drivers.

11. Expansion of community visits for migrant workers

From April 26, up to 25,000 migrant workers will be able to visit the community on weekdays, and up to 50,000 on weekends and public holidays, for up to 8 hours per visit.

This is an increase from the current quotas of 15,000 on weekdays, and 30,000 on weekends and public holidays.

With the lifting of VDS in most settings, unvaccinated migrant workers will now also be allowed to participate in community visits.

12. Boosters available for those aged 60 to 79

While the Expert Committee on Covid-19 is not recommending that seniors aged between 60 and 79 years receive a second booster shot, it has agreed to offer it to seniors who wish to have it.

They can get their shots by going to any vaccination centre offering mRNA vaccines, before 7pm.

The second booster vaccine dose should be administered about five months after receiving the first booster.

Earlier recommendations were for a second booster for specific groups - those aged 80 and above, residents of aged care facilities, and the medically vulnerable.

For those aged 12 and above who have recovered from Covid-19 and have completed their primary vaccination doses, they will need to have the booster dose within nine months of their last primary vaccination dose to maintain their vaccinated status.

This is in view of waning immunity and should not be delayed beyond nine months of the last primary vaccination dose, said MOH.

These individuals can walk into any vaccination centre before 7pm to receive their booster dose.

13. More Covid-19 vaccination centres to stop operations

More Covid-19 vaccination centres will cease operations over the coming months, as the number of Covid-19 doses administered has decreased steadily in recent weeks.

Twenty centres will operate until end-May and another six until end-June. One centre - at Marine Parade Community Club - will operate until end-April. There are currently 29 vaccination centres across Singapore, according to MOH's website.

MOH said it will consolidate its resources into several joint testing and vaccination centres, and will give more details later.

14. In-person visits to hospitals, residential care homes allowed for all, regardless of vaccination status

From Tuesday (April 26), in-person visits to hospitals and residential care homes will be allowed for everyone, regardless of the vaccination status of patients, residents and visitors.

This is part of the easing of Covid-19 measures for such visits, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Monday (April 25).

Visits to residential care homes, however, will be capped at one hour to allow all families of residents the chance to visit.

Follow our news, recent searches, singapore stands down covid-19 rules: what you need to know, advertisement.

From the removal of the mask requirement in public transport and some healthcare settings to scaling down financial support, here are the changes to Singapore's COVID-19 policy.

SINGAPORE: The Government announced on Thursday (Feb 9) that it will step down its COVID-19 measures and also its disease alert to the lowest level, as Singapore establishes a new endemic norm.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said the situation in Singapore has remained “stable” in recent months, despite increased travel over the year-end period, the Northern Hemisphere winter season and China’s shift from a zero-COVID policy.

Here are the changes announced on Thursday:

BACK TO DORSCON GREEN, MTF STEPS DOWN

Singapore will move its Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (DORSCON) tier to Green from Monday, putting COVID-19 in the same category as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and the H7N9 bird flu strain.

According to MOH, this is due to the mild nature of the disease, especially among those who have been vaccinated, and the minimal disruption posed to healthcare capacity and daily lives.

The DORSCON level has been maintained at Yellow – the second-lowest tier – since April last year, after more than two years at Orange.

Additionally, the ministry announced that the multi-ministry task force, first convened in January 2020 as a whole-of-Government response to the COVID-19 pandemic, would be stood down .

MOH will take over management of the COVID-19 situation, but said an appropriate multi-agency structure will be reactivated if it worsens significantly.

MASK REQUIREMENT TO BE LIFTED

From Monday, masks will no longer be mandatory on public transport as well as some healthcare and residential care settings.

However, visitors, staff and patients will still be required to wear masks in settings where there is interaction with patients as well as indoor patient-facing areas.

These include hospital wards, emergency departments, consultation rooms and waiting areas, pharmacies, clinics and nursing homes.

MOH said this will be a ministry requirement rather than mandated under the COVID-19 regulations, to better protect patients and healthcare workers from infectious diseases in general.

This does not apply to individuals who are in a hospital area not related to the “delivery of care” – such as a cafeteria or car park, MOH’s director of medical services Kenneth Mak clarified.

The ministry, however, still encouraged the public – especially the elderly and immunocompromised – to wear masks in crowded places or when meeting vulnerable people. They similarly advised those with COVID-19 symptoms or other respiratory infections to wear a mask when leaving their homes.

Other authorities may also require mask-wearing, just as the Singapore Food Agency has required food handlers to wear a mask or spit guard for food safety reasons.

BORDER MEASURES TO BE SCRAPPED

Singapore will also scrap all COVID-19 border measures from Monday, as the global pandemic situation improves and imported cases make low impact on the healthcare capacity.

All travellers, including those who are not vaccinated, will no longer have to show proof of a negative pre-departure COVID-19 test before entering Singapore.

COVID-19 travel insurance will also no longer be required for non-vaccinated visitors.

The Vaccinated Travel Framework will remain in place for reactivation if there are “international developments of concern”, such as new severe variants or signs that Singapore’s healthcare capacity is strained by imported cases.

Travellers will also be continue to be screened for infectious diseases such as Yellow Fever, MERS and Ebola.

All travellers, including Singapore residents, will still have to submit a health declaration via the SG Arrival Card e-service when entering the country.

MOH said travellers should check the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) website for the latest border measures before entering Singapore.

Goodbye tracetogether app, safeentry.

The TraceTogether app  can be uninstalled  from Monday. Enterprises may also do so for the SafeEntry (Business) app.

Members of the public can also return their tokens to community clubs and centres from Monday to Mar 12. They can also do so on behalf of family members and friends.

The returned tokens will be sent for “refurbishment and recycling”, said the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO).

MOH said that it no longer requires those infected with COVID-19 to submit TraceTogether data, and SafeEntry data is no longer being collected. It has also deleted all identifiable TraceTogether and SafeEntry data from its servers and databases.

However, the ministry said it is useful to keep both systems ready for reactivation for the contingency, when a new, more dangerous variant of concern breaks out.

“For this purpose, registration details such as name, business UEN and mobile number will be retained in the system, to minimise the steps taken by individuals and companies to set up and re-register for TraceTogether and Safe Entry, should it be needed,” it said.

Both apps will remain available on the App Store, Google Play Store and the Huawei AppGallery.

COVID-19 PROTOCOLS TO BE REMOVED

Protocols 1-2-3, which determine what individuals should do if they are unwell or test positive for COVID-19, will be stood down from Monday, MOH said.

A new general advisory will be implemented. Under this, medically vulnerable persons who have Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) symptoms, as well as those with severe, prolonged or worsening ARI symptoms should see a doctor.

Those with mild ARI symptoms should stay at home until symptoms resolve.

MOH said those who are symptomatic, or asymptomatic but tested positive for COVID-19, individuals should exercise social responsibility by wearing masks, minimising social interactions and avoiding crowded places if they need to go out.

SCALING DOWN COVID-19 FINANCIAL SUPPORT     

Financial support for testing and treatment of COVID-19 will be further scaled back , MOH announced on Thursday, but added that vaccines and oral antivirals will remain fully subsidised for eligible patients.

The changes, which will take effect from Apr 1, will bring financial support for COVID-19 testing and treatment in line with that of other acute illnesses.

All COVID-19 patients visiting hospitals or COVID-19 treatment facilities will no longer receive 100 per cent subsidy, regardless of their vaccination status.

Instead, regular healthcare safety nets   - such as Government subsidies, MediShield Life and MediSave – will apply to Singaporeans and permanent residents to defray healthcare expenses.

Community isolation facilities will also no longer be required for COVID-19, but some will be maintained for patients who want to self-isolate for valid reasons.

However, they will be charged for their stay and will not be able to use Government subsidies, MediShield Life or MediSafe to pay for their bills.

Users can uninstall TraceTogether app, return tokens from Feb 13 to Mar 12

COVID-19 measures for foreign workers in dormitories to align with that of the community from Mar 1

Singapore to further scale back COVID-19 financial support; vaccines and antivirals stay fully subsidised

Patients will also be required to pay for any COVID-19 testing at primary care settings, such as polyclinics and general practitioner clinics. The fees will be subject to prevailing subsidies.

COVID-19 jabs under the National Vaccination Programme will continue to be offered free to all Singaporeans, permanent residents, long-term pass-holders and certain short-term pass-holders.

Additionally, with a higher risk of severe COVID-19, such as the immunocompromised and individuals with some comorbidities, may also be referred by their doctors for free telemedicine support.

MEASURES FOR MIGRANT WORKERS IN DORMITORIES

The current COVID-19 health measures for migrant workers living in dormitories will align with community guidelines from Mar 1.

Workers will also be free to visit the community without applying for a pass from Monday.

Migrant workers have been able to exit dormitories and visit community areas since the beginning of 2022, using the Popular Places Pass, which will be discontinued on Monday.

Also from Mar 1, those with mild respiratory infection symptoms may recover in their dormitory or see a doctor at any medical centre for migrant workers under the Primary Care Plan.

COVID-19 tests will only be administered for symptomatic vulnerable workers or those with severe symptoms. Additionally, workers who test positive will not need to be taken to COVID-19 recovery facilies.

Only those with more serious symptoms, such as shortness of breath and chest pain, will be taken to the emergency department at hospitals.

Travel Advisory

Health Advisory for Travellers The Ministry of Health would like to advise all travellers visiting any country to be vigilant and to adopt the following precautions, where relevant: Before trip: • Visit your doctor four to six weeks before your trip for a travel health risk assessment, including advice on vaccinations required or prophylaxis recommended prior to travel. • Please take note of our yellow fever vaccination requirement to enter Singapore if you will be travelling to a country at risk for yellow fever. Refer to the following link for more details  https://www.moh.gov.sg/diseases-updates/yellow-fever. • Keep up-to-date with the recommended vaccinations and boosters in the National Adult Immunisation Schedule (NAIS) or National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS).  • Check and be aware of the health situation and entry requirements for your destination country. Some countries may require proof of vaccination for diseases such as yellow fever, meningococcal etc., before you are allowed entry. During trip: • Observe and practise good personal hygiene at all times. • Wash your hands regularly with soap, especially before handling food or eating, after going to the toilet, or when hands are dirty from coughing or sneezing. If water is not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that contains at least 60% alcohol. • Avoid close contact with persons who are unwell or have symptoms of infectious diseases. • Cover your mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing, and dispose the soiled tissue into the bin immediately. Avoid touching your face, including eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands after coughing or sneezing. • Eat food that have been fully cooked and wash fruits and vegetables before eating them. Avoid eating raw or undercooked meat and seafood, milk/milk products, and food prepared in unhygienic conditions. • Drink boiled water or water from sealed bottles. • Protect yourself from insect bites by using effective insect repellent (e.g. those containing DEET, Picaridin or IR3535 as the active ingredient), wearing long-sleeved clothes and long pants outdoors, and sleeping in an air-conditioned or insect-screened room, or under an insecticide-treated bed net. • Avoid feeding or touching animals, especially stray or wild animals. After trip: • Wear a mask and seek medical attention promptly if you become unwell or develop respiratory symptoms such as cough or runny nose, and inform the doctor of your travel history.
