This is the last of a four-part Q&A series on safe management measures for businesses in Singapore.. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Businesses allowed to resume operations from Tuesday will need to use the SafeEntry system to track the comings and goings of staff and reduce the risk of disease transmission. Here's what you need to know about the digital check-in system, which logs individuals' entry into a venue to facilitate contract tracing.

Before resuming operations, the measures must be implemented in a sustainable manner and businesses must be prepared to undertake them for as long as necessary. Businesses are required to implement SafeEntry at workplaces to help support and quicken efforts to prevent and control the transmission of Covid-19 by providing authorities with a record of individuals who enter and exit places. The records will reduce the time needed to identify potential close contacts of Covid-19 patients and potential Covid-19 clusters.

The list of places where SafeEntry must be deployed will be updated at safeentry.gov.sg/deployment as more activities and services resume.
