SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Singaporeans keen to travel abroad for leisure may soon get to do so to places like the United States, Hong Kong and some parts of the European Union, where vaccination rates are rising.

This was a possibility sketched out by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Thursday (July 1) in an exclusive interview with The Straits Times senior health correspondent Salma Khalik, where he too shared the hope that travelling for leisure will soon be a viable option before the end of 2021.
