Such a decision would effectively amount to <strong>authorise travel without quarantine in September<\/strong>. <strong>This is the first time that the government has officially announced a timetable for reopening the borders.<\/strong>. These have remained virtually sealed for 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sine qua non condition is a <strong>complete vaccination rate of 80%<\/strong> of the population. This would give it almost total immunity. \"\u00a0<em>This would put us in a strong position to go ahead with the reopening<\/em>\" said <strong>Finance Minister Lawrence Wong<\/strong> to Parliament on Monday 26 July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will allow the authorities to relax measures, in particular <strong>by authorising <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/singapour-mice-reouverture-20210416.html\/\"><strong>meetings<\/strong> more people fully vaccinated<\/a>. Good news for MICE activities. The country will also be able to start <strong>reopen borders and establish travel corridors with other countries or regions<\/strong> where infections are under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"\u00a0<em>Other countries can make do with a certain level of Covid-19 cases and even deaths. That's not the choice we want to make in Singapore.<\/em>\" reported the Bloomberg news agency, citing the Minister's speech. \"\u00a0<em>At the same time, <strong>there's no need to wait for everyone to be vaccinated before starting to open up<\/strong>. This would mean postponing the entire reopening timetable until much later. Which is untenable<\/em>\" Lawrence Wong added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/singapore-airlines-wifi-gratuit-business-20230201.html\/\" data-id=\"141829\">Singapore Airlines: free, unlimited WiFi now on board business jets<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-singapour-coince-en-son-territoire\"><span style=\"color: #a71f31;\">Singapore trapped on its own territory<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The government is also responding to a perceptible feeling of unease among the population, who do indeed feel cramped. Singapore as a state is made up of around sixty islands. But the vast majority of the population live on the main island, Pulau Ujong. With a surface area of 710 km2 (3.5 times smaller than Luxembourg), the population density is 7,804\/km2. (compared with 245\/km2 in Luxembourg). And with 50 km from east to west and 27 km from north to south, Singaporeans quickly reach the limits of the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/singapour-art-recevoir-20230223.html\/\" data-id=\"141435\">Singapore: the garden city cultivates the art of entertaining<\/a><\/p><\/aside>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/operation-mice-singapour-20230223.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singapore<\/a> was affected by a new wave of Covid-19 in June and early July.<\/strong> due to the highly contagious Delta variant. But <strong>this wave should not, however, call into question the reopening of Singapore<\/strong>. A question of survival and image for the financial hub of South-East Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked whether Singapore could fall back again, the <strong>Minister for Trade and Industry, Gan Kim Yong<\/strong>was peremptory in front of the parliamentarians. \"\u00a0<em>The answer is clearly no. <strong>We are determined to achieve our goal of a Covid-resistant Singapore.<\/strong>. But our journey must take account of the realities of public health<\/em>said the Minister before Parliament. <em>Sometimes we may have to take a diversion if we see dangers ahead. In this way, we can ensure that we arrive safely at our final destination, even if it may take a little longer.<\/em>\" .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-les-voyageurs-vaccines-vraisemblablement-favorises\"><span style=\"color: #a71f31;\">Vaccinated travellers likely to benefit<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The relaxation measures are likely to apply to travellers who have been duly vaccinated.<\/strong>. According to Lawrence Wong, once the population has been inoculated with 80%, fully vaccinated Singaporeans will be able to travel. <strong>without having to endure a 14-day quarantine in a hotel on their return<\/strong>. This measure should also apply to foreigners. <strong>However, tests would still be compulsory<\/strong>, <strong>perhaps even a reduced quarantine at home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A certain pragmatism seems to be taking hold within the government. Also during the debate in parliament, the Minister for Health, Ong Ye Kung, stated that <strong>Singapore was already changing some of its approaches to living with the virus<\/strong>. And that 200 or more cases a day would not be unusual in an endemic scenario. Decisions on the reopening of the island will be taken in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-varenne-link-block\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/operation-mice-singapour-20230223.html\/\" data-id=\"143209\">Plural MICE, cultural patchwork: a vast field of possibilities<\/a><\/p><\/aside>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time since the start of the pandemic, a Singapore government minister has announced that the city will open its doors to international travellers in September.
