SafeEntry will also be phased in by taxis beginning May 12 to better support contact-finding efforts for hail travel. Travelers must scan the QR codes SafeEntry implemented in taxis when they make hail trips.
It is recommended, but not required, that retail stores where customers are not around for an extended period of time, such as pharmacies, convenience stores, and heart supply stores, implement SafeEntry for customers.
Food and beverage (F&B) establishments are not required to implement SafeEntry for customers at this time, as they are only open for delivery and / or takeout. Retail and F&B outlets still need to implement SafeEntry for employees in all workplaces.

To date, SafeEntry has been implemented in more than 16,000 locations. Employees and visitors of businesses and services must register and leave workplaces and other places that use the application, to help contact trackers establish cluster links and transmission chains.
Safe management practices for companies, individuals.
Meanwhile, the multi-ministry working group has advised all companies and individuals to maintain practices and measures that minimize the need for prolonged interactions, as Singapore gradually resumes its activities in the midst of the COVID-19 circuit breaker period.
It had previously announced a set of safe management practices for companies and individuals to adopt to support the gradual and safe resumption of normal activities.
Safe management practices include teleworking, avoiding face-to-face meetings, and regular disinfection of common contact points and equipment. In work facilities, workers should avoid all social interactions with their colleagues, including during meals and breaks.
Everyone should wear masks when they are out of the house. They should continue basic hygiene practices, such as staying home when they are not well and practicing good hand and personal hygiene.
The Ministry of Human Resources and other relevant agencies will issue more details on the safe management measures that employers should implement in various work environments, including offices, common meeting and rest areas, factories, customer-oriented environments and transportation.
