Singapore earlier this week expanded its travel restrictions to include all foreigners who have been to South Korea, China, Iran or northern Italy over the past two weeks.
South Korea remains the worst-affected nation with COVID-19 outside China, with over 5,600 confirmed cases and at least 28 deaths from the outbreak.
