Yes. There may be special situations, like schools, hospitals and specific sectors, where schools/employers may be required to report all positive cases. In those cases, close contacts will get HRW, I expect. I know a family where the positive person intentionally went to see a GP to get into the system (before the supervised ARTs) so that all the family members could get HRW and the free test kits. They could have just self-imposed home recovery, but wouldn't have got the free kits.
Based on info from those infected and those who received HRW, a person will only receive HRW if the +ve contact register them in a link after they visit the doctor. If the infected contact did not visit a doctor or did not register them/their info in the link, then no HRW will be received. -

Not too sure, never receive what we were expecting but followed the protocol and tested daily before leaving home, from a social responsibility perspective.
I think they work differently if it’s school children.. I feel like almost 60% of the children have been issued HRW…[/quote] -

Hope that they will extend this to the not-so-poor too! $5 a pop is still quite costly for many families.

Agree the kits are quite costly! Need to invent something more affordable.

Or just forget self-testing on such a wide scale. If the no. who are required to be tested is smaller, the govt can provide for that. Let people who are actually quite sick get tested in clinics and hospitals, and not bother with contact tracing. If regular rostered testing is needed for some sectors, their employers will provide.

When will they scrap Safe Entry check-ins? Doesnt seem to serve much purpose anymore since TT data isnt used to issue HRW/HRN anymore.

I think safe entry is just for checking vaccination status. So can they stop checking vaccination status for required places? :scratchhead:

I did not check in at a regular place I visited and they knew I was vaccinated and true enough my token was still picked up by token of the infected person as a close contact and issued a HRW. That's actually my understanding of how the token works so I feel that safe entry check-in now is for verification of vaccination status mainly. In fact those who use token instead of the handphone are more likely to be picked up for HRW/HRN cos handphone the blue tooth could be off. -
Are there many still unvaccinated by choice? How long are we going to bear with these differentiated measures?

Whats the vacinnation rate now? >90%?
Its not logical to inconvenience the >90% of the population just to protect the minority who cannot/dont want to be vacinnated. After all, if they choose to visit malls or dine-in at eateries & catch Covid then they have agreed to bear the hospitalisation costs.
I think our ICUs can cope with this small number (or cant they?) Someone can crunch the numbers.
