Singapore will lift border restrictions for visitors from the Chinese mainland from Nov 6, according to a statement from the city-state’s civil aviation authority.

Visitors will have to undergo a coronavirus polymerase chain reaction test upon arrival at Singapore’s Changi Airport, the city-state’s civil aviation authority said in a statement Thursday. If the result is negative, they will be allowed to enter Singapore without having to serve a stay-home notice.

New cases in China have remained below 100 a day since mid-August, with travelers into the country subject to a mandatory 14-day quarantine.

Singapore and China agreed in May to create a fast lane for essential business and official travel, which initially applied to six Chinese provinces and municipalities. Earlier this month, Singapore and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region said they planned to allow people to travel between the two financial hubs without the need for quarantine, which would be replaced by coronavirus testing. No final date has been set for that yet.

The easing of restrictions on Chinese mainland visitors also applies to Australia’s Victoria state, which suffered that country’s worst outbreak and subsequent harshest lockdown. Both the Chinese mainland and Victoria “have comprehensive public health surveillance systems and displayed successful control over the spread of the COVID-19 virus,” Singapore’s aviation authority said Thursday.
