All travellers entering Singapore from 11.59pm on Saturday who have travelled to South Korea in the past 14 days will have to serve their stay-home notice at dedicated facilities.
The health ministry announced earlier this year that travellers from South Korea are allowed to serve their 14-day stay-home notice at a suitable place of residence.
The tightening of border measures is due to a "sustained surge" in COVID-19 cases in South Korea, said the ministry.

As of Friday, Singapore has reported 58,509 COVID-19 cases.
