SINGAPORE - More Omicron cases have been picked up in Singapore as the Covid-19 variant spreads across many countries and regions, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Wednesday (Dec 22) in announcing a freeze on vaccinated-travel lane (VTL) ticket sales.
It noted that, thus far, an enhanced testing regime for travellers has helped the authorities to detect 65 confirmed Omicron cases.
"With aggressive contact tracing and ring-fencing measures, we have, for now, been able to limit onward community transmission. But it is a matter of time before the Omicron variant spreads in our community," MOH added.
