Singapore tightens COVID restrictions

Singapore, 21st July: Singapore scaled down in-person business events and live performances and also reduced event size caps from 22nd July until 18th August, in response to a surge in COVID-19 cases.

Live performance and business events of up to 100 persons are allowed with pre-event testing, and up to 50 without testing. Spectator and participatory sports events are allowed up to 100 persons with testing. Other measures include reduction in group sizes for social gatherings from five to two, and reduction in operating capacity at attractions and museums from 50% down to 25%.

Separately, Singapore is considering quarantine-free travel for those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 from as early as September. It is expected that 80% of its population will be vaccinated by then, meeting conditions to reopen.
