SINGAPORE'S localised bubble that combines a new quarantine-free travel arrangement with dedicated short-stay facilities is a novel way to allow global executives to meet in a safe manner amid border restrictions. This arrangement may pave the way for bigger business events such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), said observers.

Like many countries, Singapore is gearing up for vaccination against the novel coronavirus. But borders are unlikely to fully open for months or even a year as vaccine production and distribution could take some time to cover entire populations.
