“Without such a facility, travel options are essentially binary — either stay at home dueto travel restrictions, or fly overseas and endure long periods in quarantine,” said Robin Hu, Temasek’s head of international policy and governance and chairman of SingEx-Sphere Holdings. One of the first companies that will be using the facility is Advanced MedTech Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Temasek Holdings that is headquartered in Singapore.
“We are in an unprecedented situation in uncharted waters. There is no standard playbook on how such physical meetings could resume safely,” he said.
