Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) will suspend operations with three countries on January 30 for a "mutual green lane (RGL) contract" that allows short-term business travelers to enter the country for up to four days. Announced.
The target is Malaysia, Germany, and South Korea, and the suspension period is 3 months from February 1. (For travelers who are already allowed to travel to Singapore, entry is permitted)
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Singapore explained, "It is a measure in response to the expansion of the new corona again in the world," and will decide whether to lift the suspension by looking at the situation at the end of April. The Singaporean government will continue to change immigration control measures as needed to manage the risk of infection and transmission to the community, depending on the global corona infection situation.
The mutual green lane contract will start in June 2020 for some areas of mainland China. Also called a business truck, it is a mechanism that exempts important business travelers from quarantine measures after arriving in the partner country if they obtain certain procedures.
Currently, Singapore continues to have mutual green lane contracts with Brunei and some cities in mainland China (Chongqing, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Tianjin, Zhejiang).
In December of last month, it was just announced that operations between Japan and Indonesia would be suspended. It is said that Japan's state of emergency will be lifted, but the outlook is still uncertain.

Due to the Singapore version of the lockdown (city blockade) implemented as a countermeasure against the new corona, more people spend their time at home during the day, and the breeding of Aedes aegypti, which transmits dengue fever in residential areas, has accelerated. It contributed to the epidemic. In 2021, the infection is settling down.

Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced that he will move to Phase 3 on December 14th at 17:00 and this month on 28th. It started with a circuit breaker and is now in Phase 2.
As the number of days when the number of infections in the city becomes zero is increasing this time, we will take further mitigation. In addition, from July 2021, it is expected that all residents, including foreigners, will be able to receive the vaccine free of charge. By the end of the new Corona, he said, "there will be a long battle," and explained that Phase 3 is likely to continue for more than a year.

In the initial stage of Phase 3, the limit on the number of people for group activities and in-store eating and drinking was raised from a maximum of 5 people to a maximum of 8 people. The number of people at entertainment facilities and event venues will also be relaxed from 50% to 65%. The number of people who can participate in other religious events will increase, but I think the above two points will have a direct impact on us.
