Singapore will allow quarantine-free entry from next month to travellers from Germany and Brunei who are vaccinated against Covid-19, according to its aviation regulator, as part of a plan to gradually reopen its borders.

Reuters reports visitors from those countries can from September 8 bypass the isolation requirement if they test negative in four polymerase chain reaction tests.

Border restrictions will also be progressively eased for all travel from Hong Kong and Macau from August 21 (Saturday), the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said in a statement.
