The Lion City is experiencing a rare surge in cases and deaths with 73,000 new cases in just a month which has doubled the number since the start of the pandemic.

"If you must travel to Singapore, make sure you are fully vaccinated before travel Because of the current situation in Singapore, even fully vaccinated travelers may be at risk for getting and spreading Covid-19 variants," the CDC advisory says.
Singapore has one of the highest vaccination rates with 82% fully-jabbed.
US authorities issued the guidance as Singapore is opening ‘vaccinated ravel lanes’ for arrivals from the US and several other countries in Europe and Asia.
