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?

From the article and FAQ, the SafeEntry Gateway was designed with no history of check-ins (via token or TraceTogether app).

I think most of us prefer to see the history of check-ins.
For those who prefer to see the history of check-ins, try using the TraceTogether app to tap SafeEntry Gateway. Some phone users are able to view the Check-ins (despite what the FAQ says) but I am not sure whether it works for all phones.
Hope that I did not misread the article and FAQ.
Stay safe. -

Thanks.
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.[/quote]
To be exact, there's no syncing between TT physical token and TT app, at least before 17 May.
I've tallied my total no of ''Exchanges'' with the other family members on that day at the mall.
My total no. of ''bluetooth exchanges'' with other transient shoppers was 1,626, versus the others which were 7,153.
Why they had more contacts? Because they didn't switch off their bluetooth function at all, whereas I did, to save battery. So although I had my physical token with me on my body, it didn't seem to ''exchange'' with other transient patrons and did not add up to 7,153.
PS: before 17 May, some stores did not have the Reader, so I checked in with the TT app. -
What happens if I was a Close contact of a COVID-19 case?
If you're identified as a Close contact* of a COVID case, the Ministry of Health (MOH) will call you using the mobile number you registered on TraceTogether, to better understand the nature of your contact with the infected patient. They will then provide you with the relevant information and care, to protect you and your loved ones.
*Close contact is defined as being in close proximity of a COVID case over an extended period of time. TraceTogether's Bluetooth proximity technology supports MOH in identifying Close contacts, while preserving users' privacy. MOH continually reviews the proximity and time parameters for Close contact, to keep up with the COVID situation.

Hope this helps.

MOH takes a tiered approach when it comes to advising users who could have interacted with a COVID-19 case:
- If the risk of infection is assessed to be low: Users are informed via the Possible exposure feature, for self-monitoring.
- If the risk of infection is assessed to be high (e.g. you're a Close contact based on TraceTogether's Bluetooth proximity records): MOH will call you to understand the nature of the contact and advise on the relevant measures you should take.
TL;DR: Possible exposure does not mean you're a Close contact of a COVID-19 case. If you had Close contact with a COVID-19 case, you would have received a call from MOH. We'll continually review the above process of informing users as the COVID-19 situation evolves

Surprised to see that the authorities have set aside 2 more CCFs. Thought MOH said we're rather stable these 2 weeks with roughly about 20-40 daily cases only? Is that a harbinger of things to come? :scratchhead:
近期社区冠病病例增加，为应对突发状况，卫生部已启动位于宏茂桥前工艺教育学院校舍（图）和洛阳公务员俱乐部的社区护理设施，两个设施共有1700个床位。
本地目前有三个正在运作的社区护理设施，即白沙职总D'Resort度假村、大士南和观明医院（Bright Vision Hospital），共可提供约2400个床位。加上新启用的前工艺教育学院校舍和洛阳公务员俱乐部 ，我国将有能力提供4100个社区护理床位。
截至昨天，共有279名冠病确诊病患在社区护理设施隔离与治疗，他们都是症状轻微但检测仍然呈阳性的患者。

In case you did not know. TT app does not drain iPhone battery (not any more, after the update ages ago).
So there’s no need to turn off your Bluetooth after u do the obligatory check in.
If you’re turning it off becos u don’t like to be traced, that’s another matter of course (and entirely your legal right. I think). -
It still uses up quite fast as it requires your data-roaming to be turned on at all times. Mine's the latest 5G android HP, so battery's very powerful.
Privacy-wise I'm ok, as I do not visit Spa 9 or the like or that kind of sleazy places
I only turn on when I check in and out a specific shop or F&B. Anything in between, I don't.
I do not believe I'd get the virus from transient masked-up pedestrians walking past me in 2 seconds, so why do i need my bluetooth to ''exchange'' with theirs?
I also don't think it's necessary to leave my bluetooth on while I'm having my 1.5 hour-long dinner. Why do I want so many ''exchanges'' with transient waiters and patrons around me in the restaurant?
If my restaurant kena a case, I will be alerted with ''Possible Exposure'', as I've already checked in at the entrance. -

Inside MRT public transport, everyone sitting / standing inside the same train cabin, are strangers.

Suppose you board an MRT train in the morning, at Pasir Ris. Sitting right beside you is a stranger, infected with covid-19. But because you don't know that this fella has C-19, so u continue the MRT train journey all the way, to Pioneer station. Let's say this C-19 fella was still sitting beside you, when you alight at Pioneer station.
How long is the MRT ride, from Pasir Ris in the east, to Pioneer in the West? Roughly one hour ?
In this case, since the MRT ride is so long close to an hour, will you receive a phone call from MOH, informing that need to come down for a swab test, because you happen to sit beside an infected C-19, assuming you have a token inside your hand bag ?
