SINGAPORE (Jan 24): Malaysians entering Singapore via land routes will need to be mindful as temperature screening will be implemented at the city-state's Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints from noon today.

According to the republic's Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), this is in response to the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan, China and exported cases to other cities and countries, coupled with the anticipated increase in travel volume in the lead up to the Lunar New Year holiday period.
