COVID-19 measures in public in Switzerland
From 1 April 2022, the last remaining COVID measures have been lifted: the requirement to isolate in the event of a positive test as well as the obligation to wear masks on public transport and in health institutions.
Transit through Singapore
A pre-departure Covid-19 test is not required for transit travellers for all flights arriving in Singapore. Travellers wishing to transit through Changi Airport are encouraged to check the current ICA requirements and contact their chosen airlines directly to ensure they are able to complete their full journey.
Vaccinated Travel Framework VTF and entry into Singapore from Switzerland
Fully vaccinated travellers, departing from Switzerland can use the Vaccinated Travel Framework (VTF) to enter Singapore without quarantine.

As conditions can change, all travellers are invited to consult the website of the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority and work pass holders the Ministry of Manpower before traveling to Singapore for binding information.
