新加坡總理李顯龍4月3日宣布，該國將實施更嚴格的措施以控制新冠疫情發展。新加坡海事及港務管理局當晚發布新聞公告指出，新加坡港口將繼續開放貨運業務，并將繼續提供基本的海運服務，包括燃料供應、船舶物料和船舶供給。
根據此前新加坡衛生部發布的公告，從2020年4月7日至2020年5月4日(含)，所有不能通過在家遠程辦公進行的商務、社交或其他活動將被暫停。但基本服務及其相關供應鏈，以及構成全球供應鏈一部分的實體，將被豁免暫停業務。
新加坡海事及港務管理局指出，海運是新加坡重要的經濟部門，而新加坡港口對確保貨物流通至關重要。因此，新加坡港口將繼續開放。被豁免暫停的海事相關活動包括：航運，例如船舶運營商和班輪運營商；與航運有關的服務，例如船舶管理和船舶代理；安全及航行服務，例如船級社、領航、救助及拖航；港口和碼頭業務，包括建筑；港口海事服務，例如船舶修理、加燃料、渡輪服務等。
新加坡海事及港務管理局表示，獲豁免暫停業務的海事實體將于2020年4月3日22時之前收到該部門的確認郵件。他們也可于這一時刻起，在www.mpa.gov.sg/es_enquiry網站上確認其豁免資格。
此外，新加坡海事及港務管理局表示，員工可以在家遠程辦公的商業活動可以繼續進行。該部門預測新出臺的防疫措施將實施到2020年5月4日，但如有必要，可能會延長。根據新加坡《傳染病法》，不遵守這些措施將觸犯法律，對違法者的處罰包括最高1萬新元的罰款或最多6個月的監禁，或兩者兼施。此外，不遵守條例的個人或經營者也可根據該法令被暫停業務。
