Singapore will make some incoming travellers wear an electronic monitoring device to ensure that they comply with coronavirus quarantines as the city-state gradually reopens its borders, authorities said on Monday.

From 11 August, the devices will be given to incoming travellers, including citizens and residents, from a select group of countries who will be allowed to isolate at home rather than at a state-appointed facility.

Singapore, which has not given details on what the device will look like, said in a statement that it will not store any personal data and does not have any voice or video recording function.The city-state, which is also planning to give all residents a wearable virus-tracing dongle, has tough punishments for breach of its quarantine and social distancing rules.

Singapore has reported 52,825 coronavirus infections, mostly due to mass outbreaks in cramped migrant workers dormitories, but imported cases have been creeping up in recent days.

Premier's hotel quarantine inquiry leaves us in the darkWith each passing day, it has looked more and more like this inquiry, has had the opposite effect, contributing to the withholding of information from the public and the scientific community. Yes - shouldn't we all know what went wrong as soon as possible so more errors aren't made? But Dan keeping power is more important to him. Of course it has. Andrews has no interest in having t/truth found out. He’s only interested in power, even if he has to trash t/State. His Govt has mis-stepped all the way but it’s always been ev1 else’s fault. So, “dictator” Dan is probably quite a good rep’n of him at this time Lock it all down Vic and nsw.
