Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore informed that crew with recent travel history to India within the last 14 days, are not allowed to entry the country.
The above decision came following Singapore health ministry’s announcement to ban long-term visa holders and short-term visitors with recent travel history to India, as it is battling with a second wave of COVID-19.
