From 17 May, #TraceTogether-only SafeEntry (TT-only SE) check-in will be mandatory at selected locations.

This means that other #SafeEntry check-in methods, e.g. via the Singpass app or ID-scanning, will be phased out. πŸ‘‹πŸ»

While there is a grace period up till 31 May when IDs are allowed for check-ins, it's best to get familiar with the TT-only SE method.

πŸŽ₯ Watch this GIF for a quick guide on TT-only SE check-ins using the TT App and Token!
