“We will inform employers on when to re-apply for entry when the situation has stabilised and will prioritise them for entry approval then. In view of the need to reschedule the entry of work pass holders who had already obtained approval to enter, we regret that we will not be accepting new entry applications from higher risk countries and regions with immediate effect, except for workers needed for key strategic projects and infrastructural works who we will continue to allow entry,” said the ministry in a statement.
