In addition to previous measures,
1. From 4 March 2020, 2359 hours, all new visitors with recent travel history to Iran, northern Italy or the Republic of Korea within the last 14 days will not be allowed entry into Singapore, or transit through Singapore.
2. All employees with recent travel history to Daegu city and Cheongdo county (South Korea) within the last 14 days and arriving on or after 26 February 2020, 2359 hrs will be required to remain in their place of residence at all times for a 14-day period under the Stay-Home Notice (SHN).

If your foreign employees have travelled to any of the areas above within the last 14 days and are arriving in Singapore after 4 March 2020, 2359 hrs, you must do the following:
1. Ensure you can fulfil the additional obligations to bring your foreign employees in. If your foreign employees have dependants, who are not issued any work passes including Letter of Consent, the employees must also fulfil their obligations towards their dependants.
2. Request for MOM’s approval before your foreign employees and their dependants can enter Singapore.

2/3: VENDOR LIST FOR SUPPLIES
The Association has received feedback that many member companies are facing shortage of supplies such as masks, sanitisers and etc. With the help of fellow members and partners, ASPRI has put together a list of vendors that you may contact for supplies.
The list can be found HERE
We hope that this would be of help in procuring the necessary items to protect you and your workforce during this period.
