During a press conference on 9 September, Singaporean officials said as the COVID-19 has been basically under control, Singapore will take new measures to trace infection sources when the island state begins to reopen economy in the near future.

The distribution is expected to be completed in late November.

Furthermore, a new Self-Check service and SMS service will be introduced from September 10 so that people can be alerted if they have visited the same venues at the same time as COVID-19 cases, based on their own SafeEntry records.

This Self-Check service will be available on the TraceTogether app. Individuals can also access the Self-Check service via SingPass Mobile.

On 9 September, the Singaporean Health Ministry announced that from 17 September, all travellers from India who are not Singaporeans and permanent residents will have to take a COVID-19 test before departing for Singapore.
