SINGAPORE - The SafeEntry check in to public venues will become a simpler and faster process from April 19 with a new tap-in system. The new SafeEntry Gateway Box was launched on Tuesday (March 16) at Nex mall in Serangoon Central by the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO). It was trialled at the mall from Feb 15. To check in, visitors with the TraceTogether app or TraceTogether tokens can tap their devices on the gateway box, which is slightly larger than a smartphone. Alternatively, an operator of a venue, such as a supermarket or large shop, can download an updated version of the SafeEntry (Business) App on his phone and use the phone, instead of the gateway box, for visitor check ins. The SafeEntry Gateway system is being planned for a rollout at selected crowded venues such as shopping malls, large standalone retail stores, cinemas, hospitals, polyclinics and Mice (meetings, incentives, conferencing and exhibitions) venues hosting more than 100 participants. Existing SafeEntry check-in methods using the QR codes and a visitor's NRIC will still be used at these places. The Government has identified venues with high visitor traffic that need to implement the SafeE...
