Special hotel rates and help with flights for overseas Singaporeans returning amid pandemic
Singapore
TO HELP returning overseas Singaporeans amid the global Covid-19 outbreak, particularly students, the Singapore Global Network (SGN) has secured preferential rates at local hotels where they can serve their 14-day stay-home notice.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) is also working with Singapore Airlines (SIA) to aid Singaporeans and permanent residents in securing flights home from London, with priority for those studying overseas.
