Steps to reduce risk of Covid-19 infections – Changi Airport shows the way!

-

• Passengers from “very high-risk” places will be escorted to Terminal 2 remote gate for immigration clearance and Covid-19 testing, and then transported directly to their quarantine facility from the gate by bus.

• Passengers arriving in and departing from Terminals 1 and 3 to be separated with demarcated paths in Zone 1.

• Access control points between Zone 1 and Zone 2, so workers and passengers in each zone do not mix.

• Dedicated toilets, dining and rest areas for Zone 1 staff.

Personal protection of workers

Measures now

• Workers wear different levels of PPE based on the risk level of their tasks.

• They take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test once every 14 or 28 days depending on risk level.

From June 13

• Zone 1 workers must wear the highest level of PPE except during meal times and toilet breaks; they get additional training on PPE protocol; and they have dedicated donning and doffing stations.

• PCR tests every seven or 14 days and rapid antigen test every third or seventh day, depending on the zone.

• Daily non-invasive testing in future.

• Only vaccinated, younger workers in Zone 1.

Environment

Measures now

• Contactless check-in and bag drops, frequent disinfection, and antimicrobial coating on surfaces.

• Dedicated ventilation system in toilets and upgraded air filters.

From June 13

• Portable high-efficiency particulate air filters in contained spaces with high footfall.
