过去14天曾到过中国旅客 后天起禁入境
跨部门工作小组今日(31日)召开记者会,宣布把针对中国武汉新型冠状病毒疫情的入境措施,从2月1日11点59分起,扩大至中国所有地区。
至于过去14天曾到过中国的游客,将不得入境或在新加坡过境,同时也暂停签发签证给持中国护照人士。
国家发展部长兼财政部第二部长黄循财如今坦言,中国其他地区出现社区感染的可能性相当高,病例大幅度增长。
有鉴于此,我国决定扩大对中国旅客的旅游禁令。
政府是在29日起,限制过去14天内,到过湖北、或持有湖北护照的旅客入境。
此前已有网民发起联署,担忧上述病毒在本地散播,呼吁政府采取行动,暂禁止中国藉旅客入境。
至于那些曾到过中国本地公民、永久居民或拥有长期签证者,虽可入境新加坡,惟需采取预防措施和申请两周缺席假。
移民与关卡局职员将检查所有旅客旅行历史,查看他们是否在过去两周曾去过中国。
