SINGAPORE - China resumed outbound leisure travel from Jan 8, and removed quarantine requirements for returning travellers.from China after arrival. In Parliament on Jan 9, Minister Ong Ye Kung shed light on Singapore’s plans for such tests.A shortcoming of any on-arrival tests is that they are too late because the travellers are already within Singapore’s borders, said Mr Ong.
Even recovered travellers will shed dead viral fragments for quite a while. Singapore, therefore, did not consider doing this, as it would merely confirm what is already know and expected, Mr Ong added.Waste-water tests are best done on residential premises such as dorms and housing estates, because viral fragments can only be detected from solid wastes, said Mr Ong.
Pre-departure tests for Covid-19 can be useful because it will sieve out Covid-positive passengers, prevent them from boarding the plane, reduce the number of imported infections and hence, severe cases, and a lower burden on the hospitals, Mr Ong said. This already limits the number of imported infections more so than imposing a blanket PDT requirement on all travellers from China, he added.
