Background

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020 (the "Act") was passed by Parliament on 7 April 2020. Part 7 of the Act on COVID-19 Control Orders gave the Health Minister the power to make regulations for the purpose of, amongst others, controlling the incidence or transmission of COVID-19 in Singapore. In the exercise of such powers, the Health Minister made the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) (Control Order) Regulations 2020 (the "Control Order").

The Control Order came into force on 7 April 2020 and will last until 4 May 2020 (both dates inclusive). It has since been amended several times, with the latest round of amendments coming into force on 10 April 2020.
