After the recent news of flights resuming to Hong Kong from the U.K. and social distancing restrictions continuing to ease, it has been confirmed today (April 26) that the Hong Kong-Singapore travel bubble is back on the cards.
The delayed air travel bubble was initially meant to launch last November, but after an increase in cases in Hong Kong, the long-awaited corridor for travellers was put on hold. Due to a decline in cases in both cities, along with the continued roll-out of vaccines, the bubble is back––and has been confirmed to launch on May 26.
Under the new agreement, travellers from Hong Kong will need to be fully vaccinated two weeks prior to their date of departure to Singapore, however this will not be required for those going from Singapore to Hong Kong. As per the previous terms, both sides have agreed that the bubble will be suspended if the daily average of untraceable Covid-19 cases in a week reaches more than five in either city.
