Lest you’re unaware, the collection of TraceTogether tokens was originally restricted to selected CCs only.
And as inconvenient as it may have been, individuals had to retrieve their tokens from the CCs in their own constituencies – regardless of distance or proximity.
Much to the chagrin of ill-placed residents, I’m sure.
But that ill-disposed notion is set to come to pass.
The public will no longer be confined to designated CCs from next Monday (1 February).
Instead, they will have the luxury to opt from any of the 108 community centres and clubs (CCs) in Singapore.
From 1 Feb, You Can Collect TraceTogether Tokens from Any of the 108 CCs
Yes folks, freedom of collection will be permitted from 1 February onwards.
Individuals will soon be able to collect their token from their location of choice – as long as it falls within the perimeter of the 108 CCs in Singapore.
Meanwhile, existing token users with troubleshooting issues can approach the CCs to get their tokens replaced.
Apart from faulty tokens, those with drained batteries can also be replaced.
A smart method to gauge the effectiveness of your token is to observe the light: if the token emits a blinking red light, or if the light has stopped blinking, you’ll be well-advised to get a new one.
On the other hand, a green light that blinks roughly once every minute would insinuate that the token is working well and fine.
Other than legitimate reasons, please refrain from exchanging your tokens. Reasons such as how you dislike the colour of your token, for instance, are likely to be impermissible.
Over 2.6 million tokens have been collected to date.
Collection Process
During collection, residents are required to show their original identification document (ID) with barcode and address.
If their ID lacks an address, individuals will have to display a supporting document with their name and address.
Similar to other collection processes (such as retrieval of masks), family members can choose to collect on the behalf of one another by producing their IDs.
TraceTogether
Thus far, more than 80 per cent of the local population has either procured the TraceTogether app or retrieved the token.
Once everyone has had a chance to collect a token, TraceTogether would be made compulsory for places such as restaurants and malls.
Encrypted Bluetooth data exchange is kept in the app or token, and reportedly does not involve personal identifiable information.
Data that spans more than 25 days is supposedly cleared on an automatic basis.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) will not request for the information unless a user comes down with Covid-19.
Only then will the user be requested to upload the Bluetooth data, for the purpose of tracking close contacts.
As for token users, they will be required to pass the token to MOH.
