The special travel lane, called the Connect@Singapore initiative, "will be open to a limited number of business, official, and high economic value travelers from all countries who are coming to Singapore for short-term stays of up to 14 days," Chan said."We will ensure that strict health and testing protocols are put in place," ensured Chan.
Chan said the initiative is aimed at boosting Singapore's global reputation and support the eventual economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.of a highly anticipated Hong Kong and Singapore "air travel bubble." The bubble would have allowed quarantine-free air travel between the two Asian hubs. But a spike in coronavirus infections in Hong Kong forced them to scrap the plan just 24 hours before it was due to launch on November 22.
Travellers would have had to meet certain parameters before embarking, such as having made no trips in the previous 14 days and undergo compulsory COVID-19 testing. But they wouldn't be subject to any quarantine or stay-at-home notice requirements, or a controlled itinerary, upon arrival. However, the arrangement always included the caveat that should the COVID-19 situation deteriorate in either city, the plan would be suspended.
