TraceTogether check-ins rolled out at 40 mosques in Singapore

SINGAPORE - Congregants are now able to use either the TraceTogether app or token to check in at 40 of Singapore's 71 mosques, with the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore gearing up for the end of the year, when TraceTogether check-ins will be made compulsory at public venues.

For now, congregants can still use the older methods of scanning SafeEntry QR codes with a phone camera or the SingPass mobile app, or bar codes on NRICs. But staff at mosques have been instructed to encourage congregants to download the TraceTogether app. "Using the app or token makes the flow of congregants entering our facility faster. Many of our congregants are actually workers around the area, so time is of the essence for them," said Masjid Al-Falah executive chairman Khairul Anwar on Friday .He added that TraceTogether also gives congregants greater peace of mind with the"enhanced safety" from real-time contact tracing.

"Using the token is better for me because sometimes when I go out, I might forget to bring my IC along , and I'm not sure how to use the app," said the cleaner."The process was very fast and smooth."
