SINGAPORE -- Singapore will impose stricter border controls and domestic safe distancing measures starting this weekend, the government announced on Tuesday, amid an uptick in community COVID-19 infections.
Effective late Friday, the city-state will insist that travelers arriving from "higher risk" countries and territories spend three weeks in hotel quarantine, up from the current two-week requirement. That covers the entire world except Australia, Brunei, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, New Zealand and Taiwan.
