The Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a press release earlier today that SafeEntry will soon be made mandatory at all wet markets and hawker centres in Singapore.
This is part of the government’s efforts to improve contact tracing.
MOH said that wet markets and hawker centres are places where many seniors tend to gather and frequently visited by the community.
As such, the potential for Covid-19 transmission are higher due to the close proximity between the people.
Interim fencing and mandatory SafeEntry check-in at markets with detected Covid-19 cases will be set up.
MOH said:
“We encourage all members of public to comply with SE check-in requirements and to carry their TT token or keep their TT app active to facilitate contact tracing, and help protect themselves and their loved ones.”
