What health measures will I be subject to upon returning to Singapore after my fast lane travel?
From 17 June 2020, 2359 hours, all returnees to Singapore from China will be issued a 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN) upon entry into Singapore.* They will also be required to undergo a COVID-19 PCR test before the end of their SHN.
Returnees who are Singapore Citizens or Permanent Residents may serve their 14-day SHN at their place of residence. Returnees who are Long-Term Pass holders may serve their 14-day SHN at a place of residence that they or their family members own or are sole tenants of; or in suitable accommodations such as a hotel, at their own cost.
All persons under SHN must remain in their place of residence at all times. They will be subject to close monitoring of their whereabouts, through electronic monitoring as well as physical spot-checks. Strict enforcement action will be taken against those who breach the requirements of the SHN.
For more information about the SHN issued by ICA, please refer to

Travellers returning to Singapore from China after their fast lane travel may submit an appeal for COVID-19 PCR test arrangements in place of the SHN to
[email protected]. Each appeal will be considered on a case-by-case basis and should be submitted at least five working days before the traveller’s intended date of return to Singapore.
* For a start, all travellers entering Singapore from 17 June 2020, 2359 hours, and who had remained in Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, Mainland China, New Zealand, Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam in the last consecutive 14 days prior to their entry, will no longer have to serve their SHN at dedicated SHN facilities.
The fast lane traveller returning to singapore is still required to serve 14 days stay home notice 😉. The singapore Police and ica is increasing their checks on those under 14 days shn.seems a jail term is given for any breaches of the SHN. Including the American DHL pilot who breach his SHN in Singapore 😉
