The MFA Spokesperson said:

 

“The Ministry is pleased to update that the five Singaporeans on board the Diamond Princess which had been quarantined in Yokohama, Japan have been allowed to disembark from the ship.  We appreciate the assistance rendered to the Singaporeans by the Japanese government and relevant authorities during the quarantine period.  

 

The Singaporeans will be quarantined if they return to Singapore within 14 days from the date of their disembarkation as an additional precautionary measure according to our current public health protocol.  The Singapore Embassy in Tokyo has been in touch with the Singaporeans, who have indicated that they will remain in Japan for a further 14 days before returning to Singapore.

 

The Singapore Embassy in Tokyo will continue to maintain contact with and provide consular assistance to the Singaporeans, who have been advised to monitor their health closely during this period.”
