SINGAPORE – TraceTogether tokens will be distributed nationwide next Monday (September 14), from the Jalan Besar and Tanjong Pagar districts, as Singapore steps up its touch-tracking efforts.
In announcing this, Smart Nation Initiative Tax Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said that those spaces have a higher proportion of other seniors who are more vulnerable to Covid-19 and would possibly have difficulties with the existing TraceTogether app.
The government will also launch a pilot program that will require others to use TraceTogether’s loose tokens or the app to sign up for certain locations.
These venues may come with venues where a greater number of people can gather or where the mask is not worn at all times due to the nature of the activities that take place there.
Pilot allocation occurs when Singapore prepares to allow for larger meetings and meetings with up to 250 participants.
This technique would mean that SafeEntry’s registry knowledge is supplemented through TraceTogether’s proximity knowledge, improving the protection of participants, the Health Department said on a Wednesday (September 9).
This may allow for a more secure increase in capacity limits on such occasions and venues with conceivable long-term easing measures, the ministry added.
Dr Balakrishnan said: “It is not enough to know who has been in this construction in the last hour. You need to know about this organization from other people who have been in construction, who have been close by. One of the other. “
Speaking at a virtual press conference, he was under pressure on the importance of the TraceTogether application or tokens, noting that a higher adoption rate makes touch search efforts more effective and efficient.
Those wishing to verify where TraceTogether tokens will be distributed can visit the TokenGoWhere online page for more points on collection sites and times.
People who need to collect their tokens sooner can do so at one of the active collection sites.
The first batch of TraceTogether tokens delivered to 10,000 seniors as of June.

A new self-monitoring service will also be introduced on Thursday, September 10, and SMS alerts will be sent to inform other people who have visited the same facilities as Covid-19 patients.
This service will be based on your own SafeEntry records and will be available in the TraceTogether app. They can also access the service through Mobile SingPass.
In addition to this, SMS alerts will be sent to a smaller organization of others who were in spaces at higher risk of transmission at the same time as Covid-19 cases, which include restaurants and gyms.
