The "Travel Bubble" between Singapore and Hong Kong, which was scheduled to start on November 22, has been postponed for two weeks due to the increase in the number of people infected with the new coronavirus in Hong Kong.
It is a policy that considers safety, so it can not be helped, but I hope that the day will come when I can travel freely in the near future. In Singapore, the number of domestically infected persons continues to be 0, and all infected persons are from foreign countries.

It has been announced that the "Travel Bubble" between Singapore and Hong Kong, which was tentatively announced from the end of last month, will officially start on November 22nd.

・ What is the difference from existing regulations such as business trucks?
Not limited to business purposes, all travelers including leisure purposes such as sightseeing and meeting with family are eligible. In addition, there is no need to take quarantine measures after entering both countries, and there is no need to submit a itinerary, so you can stay freely from the day you arrive.

・ What are the necessary items for entry at each airport?
Please note that this is different in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Hong Kong International Airport: PCR test (costs will be borne by you) Singapore Changi International Airport: Air Travel Pass (advance application required by WEB at least 7 days before travel, free of charge), Trace Together (dense contact tracking app) installation The point is that a PCR test is required when entering Hong Kong (not required when entering Singapore). This travel bubble "proves that it is negative by undergoing a PCR test in advance instead of quarantine measures and process management measures. "To do" is a condition.
In short, in order to travel, you need to undergo PCR tests at your own expense, (1) within 72 hours of departure from your own country, (2) when you enter Hong Kong, and (3) within 72 hours of departure from your partner country, all of which are "negative". ..

・ Will the "travel bubble" continue even if infections increase in the future?
In preparation for the third wave, if the average number of people with unknown transmission routes in the past 7 days is 5 or more, a two-week travel bubble suspension measure will be taken.
Therefore, it is important to understand in advance that if this happens just before your trip, your pre-application and pre-PCR tests will be wasted and you may need to postpone your flight.

As of September 22, the number of people infected with the new coronavirus in the world is 31.16 million and the number of deaths is 960,000. There are only 27 people.

The mortality rate is 0.05%, which is not only well below the world average of about 3%, but also low compared to countries of similar population, such as Denmark and Finland, which are about 3% and 4%, respectively. It is a number. Also, for the past two months, there have been no deaths from the new coronavirus in Singapore.

The reason seems to be the mandatory wearing of masks, the rapid behavior tracking of infected people, which is common among young people, and the immediate detection and treatment of patients with a high PCR test rate.
