SINGAPORE: The Government will introduce legislation setting out seven categories of serious offences for which TraceTogether data can be used for police investigations, said the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO) on Friday (Jan 8).
TraceTogether Programme hits 70 per cent target
Ministerial Task Force (MTF) co-chair Lawrence Wong had previously said that Singapore will not enter Phase 3 until the take-up rate of TT was at least 70 per cent.
Smart Nation Singapore announced in a press release that adoption of the TraceTogether Programme has surpassed 70 per cent of Singapore residents as of Dec. 21, 2020.
