Diversity. Collaboration. Future.

In Singapore, all COVID-19 related restrictions have been lifted. We do ask though that attendees use common sense and if they are feeling unwell, to stay at their hotel and let conference organizers know of any COVID-19 related symptoms or confirmed positive tests.

People may wear face coverings during travel and at the event, but face coverings will not be enforced.

COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test Kits (ART Kits) are available in pharmacies, supermarkets and some convenience stores. ART kits are not available at the convention centre itself.

COVID vaccination

COVID-19 requirements for travelers arriving in Singapore are no longer needed starting 13 February 2023, regardless of vaccination status or traveler profile.

Yellow Fever vaccination

International Certificate of Vaccination

All travelers, including Singapore residents, with travel history to countries with risk of yellow fever transmission (i.e. wholly or partly endemic for yellow fever) in the six (6) days or more prior to arrival in Singapore are required to have a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate and present it to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officer at the immigration counter upon arriving in Singapore. Please refer to this link for further details.
