Travellers from Myanmar will not be allowed entry into Singapore from 11.59pm on Thursday (15 July) until further notice due to the worsening COVID-19 situation there, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) on Wednesday (14 July).

In a statement, MOH noted that all long-term pass holders and short-term visitors with recent travel history to Myanmar, including transit, in the past 21 days will not be allowed to enter Singapore.

This will also apply to all those who had obtained prior approval for entry into the city-state, said the Ministry.

In addition, all travellers with recent travel history to Myanmar will also be subject to an on-arrival Antigen Rapid Test (ART).

MOH added that travellers with recent travel history to Myanmar who have yet to complete their 14-day stay-home notice (SHN) by 11.59pm on Thursday will remain to be subjected to 14-day SHN at dedicated facilities, and take a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test upon arrival.

“As the global situation evolves, we will continue to adjust our border measures to manage the risk of importation and transmission to the community with changes updated on the SafeTravel website.

“The Ministry of Health will also continue to review the data and evidence on any new viral strains and update the measures accordingly,” it stated.

李光耀孙子与男友在南非结婚

已故建国总理李光耀孙子李桓武于上周五(24日)在南非开普敦结婚。 李桓武(32岁)是已故总理李光耀次子李显扬的儿子,其担任兽医工作的男友Yirui Heng(27岁)则在社交媒体Instagram 上载两人合照并标记李桓武说道,“今天我与我的灵魂伴侣结婚了,期待与 @hero.unit(李桓武IG)共渡余生。” https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx10MESB7_1/ 两人随后向粉红点表示,他们从来都未曾想过能够步入婚姻的一天。 “在亲朋好友的陪同下,我们迫不及待想向大家分享这好消息。”他们说道。 消息传出后,网友们纷纷在“粉红点”的帖文中除了献上恭贺,也希望新加坡能更友善对待性少数群体(LGBT) 网友Mathilda Dsilva: 爱是没有任何保证。所以当你找到他也珍惜他,不应让任何人或法律将你们分离。家人或许会以“异性恋是家庭原则”施压,尤其又是在名门望族的家庭中。但如果连你都不珍惜自己的家人,只在意权力和欲望,又有和家庭原则可言?人是不断持续在思想上、生活上进步,那些旧有的思想迟早会发现自己与新世界格格不入。恭喜这对新人也希望真爱能一直持续下去。…
