⚠️ Don't be misinformed by fake news on the #TraceTogether Token
There is no concern with the radiation emitted from the Token and it is safe for everyday use. 🛡️✅
The Token facilitates contact tracing in the fight against COVID-19, using Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) to send and receive data.
It transmits at a lower power than many consumer communications devices - such as mobile phones, Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and smart watches.
From 17 May, we will need to use the TraceTogether Token/app to check-in at venues where #SafeEntry is required.
Get the facts right, here:

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. 👋🏻
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.
🎥 Watch this GIF for a quick guide on TT-only SE check-ins using the TT App and Token!
