Staff who are working at places with unmasked clients or where there is prolonged contact between individuals will have to undergo a regular 14-day Fast and Easy Tests (FET) from mid-July, the multi-ministerial taskforce on COVID-19 said on Friday (18 June).

SINGAPORE — Staff who are working at places with unmasked clients or where there is prolonged contact between individuals will have to undergo a regular 14-day Fast and Easy Tests from mid-July, the multi-ministry taskforce on COVID-19 said on Friday .

“We expect that most of the FET can be done through a system of self-swabs supervised by the employer. To support establishments in their efforts to get started on FET, we have set up training programmes that companies can leverage to train supervisors in their establishments to supervise ART self-swabs for their staff. These supervisor training programmes will be provided at no cost to these establishments for the next 3 months,” the Ministry of Health said in a statement.
