新加坡外交部证实,总理李显龙将取消本月23日,前往澳洲首都坎贝拉的行程,改以视讯方式参与会议。

总理原定23日拜访坎贝拉。不过,澳洲总理莫里森(Scott Morrison)刚在昨日宣布,实施入境者一律需14日强制隔离的政策,希望借此遏止武汉冠状病毒(COVID-19)疫情的散播。

外交部文告指总理于莫里森已通话,讨论旅游限制事宜,并同意改以视讯进行会议,也按计划签署双边协定。

文告称这显示双方的信念,尽管当前仍面对疫情挑战,惟双边仍重视继续推展政府事务,维系新澳两国全面战略伙伴的良好关系。

澳洲366人确诊

截至目前,澳洲全境已出现超过300例确诊病例,该国政府仍担心病患人数会持续增加。

至于我国新加坡截至昨日中午为止,已有226例确诊病例。

从本月16日起,过去14天曾去过东盟(ASEAN)国家、瑞士、英国、日本等地的旅客、本地居民和长期准证持有者,若要入境我国都需要遵守14天的居家通知(Stay-Home Notice)。
