In order to reduce cross-border transmission of Covid-19, starting from 8 November,2020, all Chinese and foreign passengers (including the Fast Lane passengers) who are to fly from Singapore to China will be required to take nucleic acid and IgM anti-body tests and then apply for a green health code with the “HS” mark or a green health declaration code with the “HDC” mark before boarding the flight.
