Singapore forces PH travelers to negative COVID-19 test

MANILA, Philippines – After another 11 Filipinos tested positive for COVID-19 in Singapore, travelers from the Philippines will want to score a negative COVID-19 before departure before they are allowed to enter Singapore starting October 19, according to the Philippine consul general there. .

“Karamihan places Singapore-based staff in the language, on the page, in the positive position of COVID-19,” Candolada said in an interview with Teleradyo on Tuesday.

Because of these recently reported cases among Filipinos, Candolada stated that travelers from the Philippines must now provide a coronavirus before departure, as they appear to have lost COVID-19.

According to Singapore’s Ministry of Health, “travellers who have recently travelled to the Philippines and are not Singaporeans or permanent citizens will need to provide a COVID-19 negative verification result valid to enter or pass through Singapore. “

This requirement will be from 19 October, said the Consul General.

“Kailangan can have negative control before departure within 72 hours,” he said.

(A negative check is required before departure within 72 hours).

“We passed Indonesia and India, and you will no longer be able to do without it for pre-departure control before moving to Singapore,” he added.

According to the Philippine Embassy in Singapore, there are a total of 351 cases of Filipinos COVID-19, of which 332 have recovered, were released or are being placed in network isolation centres on Monday, October 12.

While Singapore has opened “in general,” Candolada said the government still applies security protocols, such as restricting mass meetings.

“Then kahit na nagbubukas ang Singapore, progressive nagbubukas, nandun pa rin yung security protocols,” he said.

(Then, even though Singapore is opening up, security protocols remain in place. )

When asked if the Singaporean government had banned older people from leaving, Candolada said there was no official announcement to prevent them from leaving their homes.

“Pwede silang lumabas, pwedeng makibisita but ine-anime na kung pwede wag muna, kung kaya namang hindi lumabas ng bahay,” he said.

(They may faint, they can make visitors, but they are encouraged to leave their home as much as possible.

Consular facilities were also made on Sundays for “delays” caused by the two-month blocking of the “circuit breaker” in Singapore.

“Medyo naipon yung hindi naka-disp in consular kaya bumabawi kami ngayon. An express passport, scheduled appointments and scheduled appointments for passport renewal. Thank you for naming matutukan on my forehead all over the world,” Candolada said.

(Those who use consular have accumulated, especially for passport renewals, we have many appointments scheduled, that’s what we need to focus on and deal with quickly. )
