2021

With the surge in community cases and the virus becoming increasingly endemic, home recovery is the default care management model for the majority of COVID-19 patients, allowing them to recover in the comfort of home with the support of family and community. Hospitals will be better able to focus our efforts on helping patients who need more intensive medical care.

Read this guide for information on the steps to take when anyone tests positive for COVID-19. For more information on the Home Recovery Programme, visit go.gov.sg/HRP-for-patients

From 24 September 2021 to 23 October 2021, no visitors will be allowed into the inpatient wards. This can be reviewed for specific groups of patients. Patients who require additional care support from caregivers may be allowed 1 pre-designated visitor and 1 visit per day. For critically ill patients, up to 5 pre-designated visitors are allowed, with a maximum of 2 visitors at the patient's bedside at any one time.

Eligible visitors and caregivers, regardless of vaccination status, must produce a valid* negative COVID-19 test result obtained within the last 24 hours prior to visiting, unless they:

have a valid Pre-Event Test (PET) exemption memo
are a COVID-19 patient who recovered within the last 270 days with a valid PET exemption memo

*Self-paid Antigen Rapid Test (ART) or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test administered or supervised by MOH-approved providers (including Quick Test Centres). Visitors who are not able to obtain a negative pre-visit test result due to exceptional situations (e.g. unexpected DIL) may undergo an on-site Antigen Rapid Test (ART).

Anyone entering the hospital premises must complete the Declaration Form and check-in to the SafeEntry system with the TraceTogether app or token. Under the Infectious Diseases Act, it is an offence to provide false information.
