The current average of unlinked cases in Hong Kong is nearly four.<br \/>\nAlthough the average of five had not been reached in Hong Kong, the bubble was suspended after Yau and Singapore \u2019s transport minister, Ong Ye Kung, held discussions on Saturday.<br \/>\nPrior to the postponement, Singapore said Saturday morning that travelers arriving from Hong Kong via the bubble would be required to take a coronavirus test on arrival. Originally, only people landing in Hong Kong were to be required to be tested.<br \/>\nOng said in a Facebook post Saturday that the postponement is a \u201csober reminder that the COVID-19 virus is still with us.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI can fully understand the disappointment and frustration of travellers who have planned their trips.
