The Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) has introduced an extension of
precautionary measures against the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus
(2019-nCoV). In summary:

    mainland China within the last 14 days will not be allowed entry into
    Singapore, or to transit through Singapore.
  • With
    immediate effect, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) will
    suspend the issuance of all forms of new visas to those with PRC
    passports. Singapore’s status as a visa-free transit facility for those
    with PRC passports will also be suspended.

  • Previously
    issued short-term and multiple-visit visas for those with PRC passports
    will also be suspended.  During this period of suspension, they will
