Information For Visitors
Temperature Screening to be discontinued at all entry points (10 July 2009)
In the initial phase of H1N1 (2009) outbreak, temperature screening was implemented at the border checkpoints to contain the spread of the virus into the community. As Influenza A (H1N1-2009) has become endemic among global communities, and with localised community spread in Singapore, temperature screening at our borders is now less useful than before there was local community spread. As such, these temperature screening measures at our border checkpoints will be discontinued with effect from Saturday 11 July 2009.

Home Quarantine Order (HQO)
On 16 May 2009, The Ministry of Health (MOH) lifted the home quarantine order (HQO) for travellers who have been to Mexico recently. This is in light of new information on the Influenza A (H1N1) outbreak in the country.
Despite the lifting of HQO, MOH's contact tracing system is still in place and under the Infectious Diseases Act, the order will still be issued to any person who is a known or suspected close contact of a probable or confirmed case of H1N1 infection.

Visa Requirements
The visa requirement for all Mexican nationals who wish to enter Singapore will be lifted with effect from 12 May 2009. This takes into consideration the revised medical assessment of the severity of the novel influenza A (H1N1) and the decreasing number of new cases emerging from Mexico.
