Some Places in S’pore Will Soon Require Both SafeEntry & TraceTogether to Enter

Chances are, if the authorities decide to randomly track where a person has been with SafeEntry, they might find out that the person might’ve been in a Don Don Donki outlet for eight whole days.

Because like it or not, some of us would do the unthinkable of saving a screenshot to enter a place or forget to check out in all places.

Now, the authorities have one more way to contact trace easier so our poor contact tracers won’t need to wonder how you survive with the Don Don Donki theme song for eight days: using SafeEntry with TraceTogether.

Some Places Will Soon Require Both Safe Entry & TraceTogether to Enter

You should be familiar with SafeEntry unless you’ve plans to stay home for the whole of 2020 and hope that the year is merely a nightmare.

But you might be new to TraceTogether, since it’s not compulsory for you to download to enter any place.

Here’s a simple video we’ve done about TraceTogether (please also subscribe to our YouTube channel for more informative videos!):

Simply put, it doesn’t track where you are, so you won’t need to worry about your privacy.

Soon, you’d need both SafeEntry and TraceTogether to enter certain places.

The Ministry of Health said that they be piloting the deployment of SafeEntry that requires the use of either the TT App or Token to check in at selected venues to facilitate the further easing of measures at these settings.

These places would be known as “TT-only SafeEntry”, and will first be piloted at selected venues, and will be expanded over time once the national distribution of the TT tokens is well under way.

Which would be December 2020.

These could include venues where there may be larger groups coming together, especially where there is close interaction among attendees; or where masks may not be worn at all times due to the nature of the activities.

Does that mean it’s a first step towards the opening of wedd—

According to MOH, they’ve trialled it at the first Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) event held at the end of August, with more pilots starting progressively from September 2020.

But what if you don’t have a smartphone?

Then I don’t know how you can read this, but that’s no excuse because…

TT Tokens Will Be Given to Anyhow Who Needs by End of November

No smartphone? No problem.

The authorities will commence nation-wide distribution of the TT Tokens from 14 September 2020, and they aim to complete the distribution by November. The token is, of course, free.

The collection points will firstly be in the Jalan Besar and Tanjong Pagar regions whereby there are more seniors who don’t have smartphones, and soon, collection points will be extended throughout Singapore progressively.

And as usual, the authorities’ obsession with the “gowhere” URL continues as residents can go to the TokenGoWhere website (https://token.gowhere.gov.sg) for more details on the collection sites and timing.

Those who wish to collect the Token earlier can visit any of the active collection sites listed on the TokenGoWhere website to do so.

The website is live and you can also check out when you can collect your tokens depending on where you live.

If you need to use it lah, that is.
