If you were on a cruise ship or traveled overseas recently, you should declare this to the campus’s student services team and limit interactions with other people for 14 days. In keeping with the Ministry of Health’s guidelines, from March 20, 2020, Embry-Riddle students, faculty and staff who are Singapore citizens, permanent residents, and long-term pass holders returning to Singapore will be issued a 14-day Stay-Home Notice (SHN). The SHN starts from the day after they return to Singapore. Those under the SHN will have to provide proof of the place where they will serve the 14-day SHN and remain in their place of residence at all times for 14 days.
