SINGAPORE - All new travellers arriving from high-risk countries and regions must be placed on a 14-day stay-home notice (SHN) from Wednesday (June 23), instead of 21 days, at dedicated facilities. However, they must take an antigen rapid test using self-test kits on the third, seventh and eleventh day after arriving in Singapore. The Ministry of Health said in a statement on Wednesday that while there is increased transmissibility with the new variants of concern, it found no evidence - from both overseas and local data - that these variants come with longer incubation periods. It added that since the 21-day SHN for all travellers with recent travel history to higher-risk countries or regions was implemented from May 8, there were 270 imported cases among such travellers as at Tuesday. "All of them had incubation periods well within the 14-day window. As such, we will reduce the SHN period from 21 days back to 14 days," said MOH. However, to identify potential infection cases early and provide infected travellers with appropriate medical care as soon as possible, travellers will be required to test themselves regularly with antigen rapid test kits on days three, seven and 11 of th...

SINGAPORE - A 20-year-old Singaporean man was charged in court on Friday (June 18) for abetting the breach of stay-home notice (SHN) requirements by a person on SHN and trespassing into the premises of an SHN dedicated facility. The court heard that he intends to admit to the charges. He will be back in court on July 29. On Nov 28 last year at about 3pm, Sow Kaiser visited his friend who was serving the notice at a hotel and spent about an hour in the room before leaving. Sow allegedly took a lift and entered the hotel's restricted area, where he then used a service lift to get to the room. He was subsequently spotted by the hotel's security guard but left the hotel before he could be apprehended. The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said on Friday that those who fail to comply with SHN requirements will be liable to prosecution under the Infectious Diseases (Covid-19 - Stay Orders) Regulations 2020. The penalty may be a fine of up to $10,000, or a jail term of up to six months, or both. In addition, those found guilty of trespassing will receive a jail term of up to three months, or a fine of up to $1,500, or both. Members of the public can provide information about anyone wh...
