新加坡卫生部本周日（3月23日）称，考虑到新加坡境外输入病例的风险增加，现在所有持短期签证者将不可以入境或在新加坡中转。
In view of the heightened risk of importation of COVID-19 cases into Singapore, all short-term visitors will now not be allowed to enter or transit through Singapore, said the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a statement on Sunday (Mar 23).
这一新举措将在2020年3月23日23时59分生效。
This additional measure will come into effect from 23 Mar 2020, 2359 hours.
新加坡人力部也仅会允许在关键服务领域工作的工作准证（WP）持有者入境。
For people who are holding work passes, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will only allow entry for those providing essential services.
在近期新加坡境外输入病例数急剧上升，并出现首两起死亡之后，新加坡政府紧急颁布了这些额外措施。
All these measures come soon after Singapore seeing a sharp increase of imported cases and first two deaths.
