Singapore has started quarantine-free entry for fully vaccinated passengers from eight countries as part of a plan to ease restrictions as the business hub gears up to live with the coronavirus, reports AFP.

The latest easing expanded a programme that began with vaccinated air travel lanes with Germany and Brunei last month, and is now open to passengers from the US, Canada, Britain, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.

Passengers arriving as part of this scheme — which will include South Korea from November 15 — will not have to quarantine if they have been fully vaccinated and test negative for the virus before they depart and when they arrive.
