SINGAPORE is turning away with effect from Wednesday night all visitors with travel history to Daegu and Cheongdo in South Korea within the last 14 days, even as authorities announced a breakthrough in linking existing clusters through serological testing in what's believed to be the first such use of the test.

Returning Singapore citizens, permanent residents and long-term pass holders with a travel history to Cheongdo county and Daegu city within the last 14 days will be issued a stay-home notice.
