Traders, businesses to get their own TT tokens

SINGAPORE: TraceTogether TT users can uninstall the app from their mobile phones and return their token to community clubs and centres from next Monday February 13 Businesses may also do the same for the SafeEntry Business app.

The issuance and replacement of token at community clubs and centres will stop on Feb 13, while the token vending machines have ceased operations, according to the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office SNDGO on Thursday.

Members of the public can drop their token at the TT counters found at all 108 CCs from Feb 13 to Mar 12, with the token return exercise starting from Feb 13 to Mar 12.

Members of the public can also return token on behalf of family and friends.

SNDGO said the returned token will be sent for refurbishment and recycling.

It added that we encourage everyone to return the token to ensure that they are ready for distribution should TT operations be reactivated.

Over the past few months, as the COVID 19 pandemic situation stabilised, the Government has gradually stepped down TT and Safe Entry SE, according to the Ministry of Health.

The ministry no longer requires infected persons to submit TT data, SE data is no longer being collected, and it has deleted all identifiable TT and SE data from its servers and databases.

The TT data pertaining to a murder case in May 2020 will be retained indefinitely. MOH added that this is particularly necessary for serious cases such as murder.
