Quarantine diaries

Quarantine and stay-home notices (SHNs) were de rigueur for all travellers entering Singapore during the pandemic, with more than 70 hotels having served as SHN dedicated facilities since March last year. Through portraits taken in mid-2021 remotely via FaceTime and a remote photography app that allows the photographer to capture photos of subjects through their mobile phones, The Straits Times looks back at stories of self-isolation at different locations - documenting experiences that may eventually be a thing of the past. With easing measures, the maximum SHN period for travellers has been cut from 14 to 10 days, while quarantine has been lifted for fully vaccinated travellers under the Vaccinated Travel Lane scheme.
