Though not compulsory, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) told Lianhe Zaobao that Singaporeans are encouraged to do a scan after entering the station.

SafeEntry facilitates contact tracing

This simple process enables authorities to adequately carry out contact tracing.

If any Covid-19 patient was present at the same location, they are equipped with the information to inform those who might have come in contact with them.

As a good safety measure while on-the-go, Singaporeans should aim to check-in and out while commuting.

Stay safe while travelling

Singapore will be exiting the ‘Circuit Breaker’ this coming Monday (1 Jun) and can expect to see larger crowds on public transport.

Hence, do your part by wearing a face mask, practicing safe distancing and diligently checking in and out at public locations.
