Who it's for
This system is designed for all residents living in Singapore. It is intended to be used by the general population to facilitate digital check-ins across various locations.
What you get
By using this system, you receive a digital way to check into different venues. It also provides a method for monitoring your health status through digital means. This helps automate the check-in process that would otherwise require manual entry at various locations.
What it costs you
There is no direct monetary fee to participate in this scheme. However, there are requirements for how you access the service. To use it, you must either download the mobile application onto your smartphone or use a physical token. The use of the app or token is the primary requirement for accessing the digital benefits of the system.
The catch to know
If you choose to use a mobile phone to run the app, you should be aware of the impact on your hardware. Specifically, you might notice faster battery drain on your device, which is a common occurrence if you are using an older phone model.
