OREANDA-NEWS. On Monday, Singapore and China partially resumed mutual trips in a simplified mode, which were suspended on February 1 due to an outbreak in the PRC of a disease caused by a new coronavirus. The corresponding message was published on the website of the Singapore Civil Aviation Authority.

"The creation of" fast tracks "between the two countries will allow a limited number of businessmen and travelers to make mutual trips", the text says. "This is part of the program for the gradual opening of the borders of Singapore, at the same time the most stringent measures will be taken to ensure the safety of trips", the department said.

However, the Foreign Ministry explained that not only citizens of the two states can travel, but also foreigners who are permanent residents. The Singapore authorities require a prior permission from the local Foreign Ministry or the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to leave.
