Disease outbreak response system condition adjustment & updated COVID-19 measures

22 Mar 2023 / Singapore

The Disease Outbreak Response System Condition (DORSCON) level has been adjusted from Yellow to Green.

This is considering the stable global and local situation, the mild nature of the disease especially among vaccinated individuals, and the minimal disruption to healthcare capacity and daily lives (https://www.moh.gov.sg/news-highlights/details/further-easing-of-community-and-border-measures/).

The DORSCON framework gives an indication of the current disease situation. In line with this announcement, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) will be stepping down the remaining COVID-19 measures.

MPA would like to thank everyone in the maritime community for playing a part in keeping themselves and others safe and exercising social responsibility to prevent COVID-19 infections, such as getting vaccinated, mask-wearing, and adopting good hygiene practices. MPA encourages everyone to continue these good practices, when necessary.
