Singapore tightens COVID-19 measures, to bar visitors from Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

Singapore has tightened its borders and stepped up measures due to the worrying COVID-19 situation locally and around the world. From May 2, the city-state will bar all long-term pass holders and short-term visitors with a recent travel history to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Pakistan. There will also be tighter measures on social gatherings, following a spike in local cases -- including a cluster at a public hospital. Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said the situation over the next few days will be critical, and will be closely monitored.
