This is my personal experience entering Singapore during COVID-19. Singapore has strict rule of 14 days quarantine from countries which are considered as “high-risk”. Before SHN quarantine in Singapore, I flew Singapore Airlines Business Class from Jakarta. The review can be found here.
You can find the table for SHN quarantine in Singapore below:

As per rules & regulations, I needed to spend 14 days quarantine (SHN) at SHN Dedicated Facilities (SDF). In this experience, I stayed at Hotel JEN Orchardgateway.

There are some activities planned by the Hotel, and also encouraging messages to stay sane inside hotel room.
Tips if you are going to serve SHN quarantine in Singapore
Sometimes are very useful and in my opinion, you should have it with you. You should have:
- Scissors / Penknife
- Fork & Spoon or Chopsticks or both
- Laptop / iPad or any sort of entertainment
- HDMI cable and converter for your laptop (so you can use the TV in your room as extra monitor)
- Electrical Plug Converter
Here are some items you shouldn’t bring if it takes your space:
- Instant Noodles (unless you are crazy for this)
- Thermometer (they will provide)
- Towels (unless you are allergic to hotel towels)
- Too many clothes
Hope you find this hopeful and good luck with your SHN!
I was at same hotel as you!
