Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) announced on Nov. 28 through a press release (pdf) that the launch of the Vaccinated Travel Lanes (VTL) to Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) would be deferred indefinitely.
This decision was made as a precautionary measure to “reduce the risks of importation and spread” of the Omicron variant, which has been classified as a variant of concern by the World Health Organization.
