Advice to returning travellers from MOH
After your return to Singapore from countries with sustained community transmission, pay close attention to your health for 7 days, watching out for symptoms such as :

- High fever (> 38 deg C)
- Sore throat
- Cough
- Body aches
- Runny nose
- Headaches
- Tiredness

If you have any such symptoms, you should call 993 promptly for an ambulance. You should avoid taking public transport or taxi to minimise exposure. To help in contact tracing, the public may find it helpful to keep records of their movements for 7 days (for example by keeping taxi receipts) after their return.
