The first batch of Chinese visitors arrived in Singapore Friday evening after Singapore granted short-term visitors from the Chinese mainland entry starting from Nov. 6. After arriving at the airport, the passengers undergo a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test, and if they test negative of COVID-19, they don't need to serve a 14-day isolation, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) on Oct. 29. The test results will be out within 48 hours, and typically within 12 hours. Chen Qingyu, general manager of Juneyao Airlines Singapore Branch, said that Singapore's ease of travel restrictions demonstrated the confidence in China's controlling of the outbreak of COVID-19, and he expected the number of travellers between the Chinese mainland and Singapore would rise consequently.
