The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said on Wednesday that those two countries have comprehensive public health surveillance systems and have successfully controlled the spread of the novel coronavirus. Visitors from Australia and Vietnam can apply now for an Air Travel Pass for entry into Singapore. The earliest day they can enter Singapore, however, will be October 8.

Visitors will have to take a swab test upon arrival, and can go about their activities if they get a negative test result. They will have to use the TraceTogether contact tracing app for the duration of their stay, among other conditions.
