If you’re experiencing some travel blues due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, you’re not the only one.
But there’s some good news. While it still may not be safe to travel overseas, you can find some respite by heading to local attractions and enjoying a relaxing staycation.
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has permitted several tourism businesses to resume operations since the start of July and as of yesterday (July 13), the list has been updated to include more.
These attractions are only allowed to resume operations after receiving approval from the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), and they must have demonstrated effective implementation of safe management measures that provides a safe environment for both customers and employees.
So we can rest easy, knowing that certain measures have been put in place to ensure our safety during this ongoing Covid-19 situation.
