There is a problem that only SG Citizen and PR are guaranteed a return to Singapore.

Very true.

If HK infection rates goes up while visiting HK (or for any other reason), SG could in principle leave pass holders stranded in HK.

No chance liao, the $1K economy air tickets all fully booked.

So many people cannot wait to travel? Lol. Anyway, i find still quite unstable to travel now cause the covid situation can suddenly become worse in any country. Also imagine if you swab test in HK and tested positive, what's next? And if any treatment needed in overseas, dont know insurance got cover or not? Currently i think only travel for business purpose, for leisure can still wait even though they try to open up for people to go holiday.

Is that any more risky than sitting in the MRT everyday?

I'd say it is less risky as the chaps on the plane would have been swabbed before hand a few days ago.

Just curious how much the swab test cost for hk and sg side? I remember sg cost ard $200 per swab

Three swabs required....... pre-depart SIN, HK Arrival and pre-depart-HKG.

My local clinic does the pre-depart test at S$188, normal tests in HK are ~HKD50 but can expect to be 10x for travellers.

Just want to ask.

Does  travel insurance  cover  cov19 now?

If i go oversea like hk or other  place. Kenna cov19.

Can buy insurance  to cover. Like the medical extended  stay etc etc?
