Singapore issues travel precaution to Philippines after 'imported' COVID-19 cases
The Singaporean government has advised its citizens to travel with caution to the Philippines due to imported COVID-19 cases.
The number of Filipinos infected with COVID-19 in Singapore rose to nine, with two recent cases classified as imported after traveling to the Philippines.
Singapore's Consul General Bernie Candolada clarified that the travel advisory does not prohibit travel but serves as a reminder of potential risks.
Travelers returning from countries with a Singapore travel advisory will be tested for symptoms at the border or airport.
Two of the Filipino cases have been discharged, while seven remain isolated in Singapore hospitals.
The 8th Filipino case is a 30-year-old female, a Singapore Long Term Visit Pass holder, who visited the Philippines from February 27 to March 6 and was confirmed with COVID-19 on March 14.
