As cases spike, Singapore has made it mandatory for residents to present a negative Covid-19 PCR test report not older than 72 hours prior to their departure, starting 29 May. "All travellers will also be required to present their valid Covid-19 PCR test result at the air, sea and land checkpoints when they arrive in Singapore," the ministry said. Currently, Singaporeans and PRs take an on-arrival PCR test before they are put in a dedicated stay-home notice facility. Travellers from lower-risk countries and regions are either required to take a Covid-19 test upon arrival in lieu of a stay-home notice or serve a seven-day stay-home notice at their place of residence with a Covid-19 test administered at the end of the notice. As of Wednesday, Singapore has reported a total of 61,916 Covid-19 cases and 32 fatalities due to the disease.
