Singapore’s Chinese embassy urges nationals not to visit as singer JJ Lin distances himself from Fujian Covid-19 outbreak The advisory came as Singapore sees a surge in Covid-19 cases, and as Foreign Minister Wang Yi is due to meet PM Lee Hsien Loong Singer Lin Jun Jie responded to rumours on Weibo that he may have been responsible for the outbreak in China by geo-tagging himself in Singapore
The Chinese embassy in Singapore has urged its citizens not to travel to the city state unless necessary amid a sharp rise in Covid-19
cases there.In a statement on Monday, the embassy noted that Singapore
had recorded more than 500 daily infections over the last four days, and numbers were expected to reach the thousands.“Dozens” of Chinese nationals in Singapore have caught the virus and sought help, including tourists and short-term visitors who had travelled for work or to visit their families, it said.Currently, mainlanders can enter Singapore without serving quarantine, but they have to take a test on arrival and isolate until they receive a negative result.“Considering the current situation in Singapore, the embassy reiterates that cross-border travel during a pandemic is dangerous,” it said, adding that those intending to visit the city state should “carefully” reconsider their plans. Singapore, one of the most vaccinated countries in the world with 81 per cent of its population fully inoculated, is battling a spike in cases. On Monday alone, there were 597 domestic infections, but the number of hospitalised cases and those in intensive care units remained relatively stable.
