Authorities said Sunday that TraceTogether roaming mobile booths will be deployed to about 100 locations, including shopping centers, for residents to collect their tokens or learn how to download and use the contact tracing app.
The measures come as authorities aim to upgrade the existing contact tracing regime with a community-driven system.
National token distribution began on September 14 at Community Centers and Clubs (CCs) in the Jalan Besar and Tanjong Pagar areas. Starting this month, the distribution exercise will also be expanded to 18 CC in Ang Mo Kio, Bishan, Toa Payoh and Sengkang.
To date, more than 100,000 tokens have been delivered, said Smart Nation and Digital Government Group.
