The Ministry of Trade and Industry said on Tuesday that those who opt to use the lane will be transported from the airport to dedicated facilities where they will stay and work.
The segregated travel lane is distinct from existing reciprocal green lane arrangements, which apply only to selected countries but which allow those on essential business here to move about more freely around Singapore. Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing, on a tour of Connect @ Changi, one of the facilities that will be used to house travellers in the segregated travel lane, said the new measures will make Singapore more relevant as a business hub amid the unpredictability of Covid-19.
A huge chunk of these are currently not covered by reciprocal green lane arrangements, and have to undergo quarantine before being able to meet their local partners face to face.
