Singapore
SINGAPORE is looking to launch new vaccinated travel lanes (VTLs) by the end of the year and is in negotiations with several countries including those in Europe and also the United States, Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong said, signalling continued caution even as other advanced economies open up.
Mr Gan, who is one of the three co-chairs of the government's multi-ministerial taskforce on Covid-19, said that Singapore is hopeful it can unveil new VTLs "by the end of the year or even earlier", given that pilots with Germany and Brunei have gone smoothly.
