I have just talked to my colleague in office. He received HRN last night because his DS was confirmed infected,
and stay at home
however, since his ART test this morning was negative and therefore he has to come back to office to work. -

It depends on the workplace. The official stance is that a person on HRN is free to do anything as long he has tested negative that day. But some workplaces (like mine and for 1 daughter) say that as long as you are on HRN, don't come into the office. For the other daughter, they are OK to go to the office if they test negative. I guess it depends on the boss's risk appetite.

But the green one really doesn't offer much benefit (and isn't included in the free mask handout). And the household income threshold for the orange and blue cards is quite low. I would think that many people won't qualify for Orange or blue unless they have many non-earners in their household.

I just had kopi with a couple of my very long time friends. Both recovered from covid. One of them is just visiting from the US. According to them, the PCR tests will continue to test positive for 90 days even though the ART self tests are negative! But I think the rules are being relaxed now such that the ex-covid patient goes through the VTL in a breeze while someone who has NOT gotten the disease has to go through lots of tests
.
I'm feeling a little left out of the action. -
Those inbound to SIN who have not gotten the virus need not undergo so many tests also. Just the overseas 48h PDT (ART or PCR up to you) to board the aircraft. Upon arrival, you must take OAT in SIN (QTC) which has become the cheaper ART within 24h.
Option 1: The 7-90 days inclusive is good for people as it helps them save on extended hotel stay, should they get infected abroad. If you get infected on 1 Feb, you just stay isolated in your hotel until 7 Feb, and can fly back on 8 Feb just by flashing that +ve test report (OR a discharge memo which is very tedious to get unless you're on biz trip where your company doctor can issue you with that official document) issued by the foreign health authority/pharmacy to the check-in counter staff. You can board straight away.
Option 2: If you want to come home earlier than 7 days, sure, you can do so as well, provided you are tested -ve 72h post-diagnosis. However, you are still subject to OAT in SIN as well as Days 2-7 ART (if -ve in the morning, then you can go about your activities in the day).

Why? Heard now HRN only entitles u to 3 kits (1 pack) from the vending machine.
I also want HRNs
Previously I got 6 kits.
You'll only get HRN if your friend/relative/colleague/teacher nominates you in the system.
