Compulsory Maritime Health Declaration by vessels that have been to Ebola affected countries

On July 1, 2015, the World Health Organisation confirmed a fatal case of EVD in Liberia, seven weeks after the country was declared EVD-free. As part of the measures to prevent the introduction of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) into Singapore, this circular makes reference to the updated requirement of the National Environment Agency (Port Health Section / Central Regional Office) for all arriving vessels that have been to the Ebola affected countries (i.e. Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone) in the past 21 days to submit the Maritime Declaration of Health Form to the Port Health Office.
