SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): More than 12,000 people currently serving their stay-home notices (SHN) in hotels here on Saturday (May 8) have begun an additional week of self-isolation at their current location, as tightened border and community measures kicked in.

While the majority of travellers arriving here from midnight on Friday would be aware they have to undergo 21 days of SHN, some who were midway through their isolation told The Straits Times they were caught off-guard by the extension from 14 to 21 days that was announced last week.
