Whereas if you choose to scan QR code using your TT app, you can see your possible exposures updated & u can monitor your symptoms.
Not sure if merely tapping your TT app against the scanner notifies you of possible exposures or not. But I know it doesn’t show the mall inside your list of check ins. It only gives a nice beep sound to satisfy the counter staff. -

Will have to see if these 3 are staying or working at the same place as the Malaysian dorm resident Case 63622 (23 May).
3 cases in the dorm on 25 May! This will be a concern.
Dorm residents do come into contact with members of our community. For instance, some town council/MOH chaps who helped to set up the swab stations and disinfect the Hougang Ave 8 and Pasir Rise St 51 blocks were migrant workers. -
lol my bad, i have overestimated the data syching by the TT system.

If the possible index case visited Westgate on May 6, infection confirmed on May 7, any reason given as to why free swab tests for those who visited between May 10 (why not May 6?) and May 22? Was her Westgate visit very short on May 6? :?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Free COVID-19 swab tests are now available to people who visited Jem or Westgate between May 10 and May 22. The tests were previously offered to those who visited between May 10 and May 14.
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-jem-westgate-cluster-50-cases-free-swab-tests-14880200
That is also the question that I have. They assumed that the cleaner is the cause of the JEM/Westgate cluster, but the cleaner only visited Westgate on 6 May 2021. Between 6 May to 10 May is 4 days in between, if the authorities is confident that this is the person, why did they not extend the testing to between 6 May and 22 May. And how about the source that infected the cleaner, has they been identified during SHN and what case number are they or is the source still unknown, and somewhere among us?
It was mentioned in the article (refer link below) that the free swab test was first announced on May 18 (for visitors from May 10 to 14) and then extended on May 24 (visitors from May 10 to 22).
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-jem-westgate-cluster-50-cases-free-swab-tests-14880200
So incubation period was not the factor (why they pick visitors from May 10) for the first announcement on May 18. But it is likely the reason after I read .zeit's post on the time lapse (this index case's places of visit came up days later). Please refer zeit's post below:-

The places visited by confirmed cases are updated daily on a rolling basis. Venues visited by confirmed cases many days ago will pop up as and when a person is tested positive days or weeks later. Yes, there's the incubation period and some are fully vaccinated so more antibodies to fend off the virus longer.
Just a random check on the https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/locations-visited-by-covid-19-cases-suntec-bugis-may-17-14829222, this 6 May Westgate entry hadn't appeared yet. But on the https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-locations-may-9-tampines-mall-junction-9-changi-airport-14770326, there was a 6 May JEM Donki entry, not this cleaner I suppose.
Yesterday, they'd just tested positive a few more Harvey Norman and https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/punggol-plaza-mbs-mall-among-places-visited-covid-19-cases-while-infectious from the Westgate outlet, as such they've extended the period till 22 May. -

TT token and old SafeEntry app were definitely not sync'd before 17 May.
I kind of prefer the physical token as it's like our contactless RFID cards. -
As far as I know, for confirmed cases, MOH will give them an upload code. They then have to self-submit the data from their TT app using the unique upload code.
And if they have been using their token to move around, also surrender the token to MOH for them to extract the data.
There’s no syncing between token and app. Otherwise I’d be able to see a list of where my kid has been checking in with his token. -

Check in using TraceTogether
This can be done in three ways at venue entrances:
• Use the TraceTogether app to scan a venue's SafeEntry QR code.
• Let staff at the venue scan your TraceTogether token's QR code.
• Just like using an ez-link card, tap your TraceTogether token or phone with the TraceTogether app on a new device called the SafeEntry Gateway.
SafeEntry Gateway
If you use TraceTogether token, there is no history of check-in record in your phone's TraceTogether app.
If you use TraceTogether app, according to safeentry.gov.sg (refer link below)
Check-ins through SEGW will not be displayed. The history tab of the TT App will only display check-ins made via scanning the venue’s QR code.
However, it seems that there are some phones which display the Check-ins through SEGW in the TraceTogether app. Perhaps it is a new feature or maybe it only works for certain phone models.
Stay safe everyone!

Since there is no history of visits when using token, does this mean we would be passive ie we will only be notified by MOH if we were close to a confirmed case? If we use the app, there is a list of history of visits and Possible Exposure, hence we become more proactive?
