My guess is to extend 2 more weeks (at least), till we see single digit new cases per day.
Wonder if there will be any announcements since its reaching the 2 week mark of the circuit breaker to prolong, make it even stricter or loosen up? Hmmm
With aggressive testings and ring fencing, the situation is not so scary. The cases did not shoot up. -

Since this colleague was called up for swab test, thought is not just she 1 person alone go for swab test, but include the entire family house hold as well ?
DH’s colleague was put on QO after TT token showed that she (and her mother) sat near to a confirmed case at a coffeeshop . However, her mother who was sitting next to her, wasn’t given a QO because the mother did not bring her TT token to the coffeeshop ! :scratchhead:
And because this colleague is now on QO, 10 colleagues who came into contact with her were put on LOA. The office is suddenly short of 11 pax manpower.
Entire family household include her husband, kids, assuming that this colleague is married, have kids.
If her mother is staying inside the same household, then her mom also need to go for swab test -

Like this, jialut ! How to work ?lee_yl\" post_id=\"2025358\" time=\"1622036597\" user_id=\"17023:There is no check in required at coffee shops leh. So does that mean her TT token can actually reveal geolocation data like that coffee shop?
And I wonder how long (and how near) u need to be sitting near to a case in order for MOH to put you on QO.
All of a sudden,
if 10 colleagues asked to go on LOA just because one colleague is on QO, then how is the company going to operate ?
QO (Quarantine Order) : usually 14 days
LOA (leave of absence) : how long ? Also 14 days ?
Then during these 14 days, who is going to work when these colleagues not around ? -

I recall the announcement said there would be a review at the mid-point, which would be this Sunday (30 May). Unless the new cases drop a lot by then, my guess is that this Phase 2 Heightened Alert phase (they are careful to say this is NOT a circuit breaker!) will be extended another couple of weeks.

For those people who can WFH, I reckon even if QO also need to work right?

Depends on the arrangement with the employer I guess. I doubt any HR has updated their policy to cater to Covid times. Neither have unions negotiated any rights for employees. All too busy with other stuff.

All along I'd thought with the physical token worn on my body, I was already geo-tagged and geo-fenced.
Exactly that was one of the reasons why I turned my bluetooth off in between shops and malls as I had my token with me. :yikes:
Whoa, many elderly might not have brought their tokens to the market or kopitiam when they were still using the SafeEntry old app.
The battery of our TT tokens must be low by now after 6 mths. -
Looking at the unabating trends, may I suggest Phase 2 be extended till end of the Jun holidays?
BUT, ONLY allow FULLY VACCINATED, or those who's taken 1 shot, to dine-in. As of now, there should be 3,728,869 Singaporeans, PRs and long-term residents who can help the government rejuvenate our sluggish F&B sector.
Restaurants, hawker centres, food courts, cafes and kopitiams should allow max 2-pax seating to admit people who flash their TT app's \"FULLY VACCINATED\" icon to the staff. It's not that prominent now in tiny print under \"Vaccination Status\".
To deter imposters, e.g. people borrowing their friends TT icon and screengrab the icon to show & cheat unsuspecting hawker centre vendors or kopitiam aunties, the READER should be upgraded.
E.g. READER light to flash RED upon tapping if this person is unvaccinated; AMBER if taken 1 shot; GREEN for those FULLY VACCINATED people. Sounds like a crazy tall order for GovTech!!
:rotflmao:
HK started creating ''vaccination bubbles'' in F&B some weeks ago, but the segregation and reconfiguration of restaurant seating caused a lot of confusion. SG can designate certain food courts or hawker centres for this trial as practicable as possible. Yeah, sounds a bit discriminatory, but I think the unvaccinated ones should just order takeaways till end-Jun when the QO'd people have dropped.
South Korea has also just announced FULLY VACCINATED persons to be able to remove their masks outdoors.
