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. -

Totally agreed. Those who cant be vaccinated due to valid reasons shld be really the minority. There are some who still chose not to be vaccinated and I simply cant understand them.

I would like to ask the same questions too! Can we please get rid of the Safe Entry check-inS and the differentiated measures? Thank you!

The clinics are all overwhelmed esp when omicron more transmissible. When I ran out of ART kits, I happened to hv made a prior appt to do my LPA & wanted to do my tests there at the same time, before I realized Q was so long & 2 of their staff was down with covid. Hospitals are receiving full loads as MIL’s colonoscopy was pushed back till June, as it’s deemed non-emergency procedure.
My nurses frds are all stressed out fr OT fr increasing case loads daily tt their hubby gotta help relieve them with relaxing moments & liangteh everyday to keep them fr puchuat. Wonder how is laughingcat doing. Hope her earlier break helped her packed some resilience to go thro tough times at the hospital.
It’s actually good to hv the Quick Test Centres to supervise & manage the anxieties of those with the light symptoms and who do not hv ART kits supply. These relieves the doctors at clinics & hospitals to treat those who need more specific medical care.
I actually prefer using the token for entry & exit as its troublesome for me to handle grocery or shopping yet having to open up hp app but w/o it is fine. When need to show my vacc status, it takes extra effort to slide my pin to get to my app, guess hv to comply to make things easy for eateries operators.
Looking forward to Omicron peak & hopefully by then covid is less oppressive on us human race to lead some form of normalcy. Once Omicron subsides & more ppl caught & overcame it, it shld be less affecting those vulnerable. That is the time I feel I want to be more liberated to live life with freedom again. 🤞🏻🙏🏻
