What data does TraceTogether collect?
SINGAPORE - The TraceTogether token and mobile phone app are used for contact tracing. They exchange short-distance Bluetooth signals with nearby users of the token or app to quickly track people exposed to confirmed Covid-19 cases. But what kind of data does TraceTogether collect? When signing up for TraceTogether, a random user ID (a string of numbers and letters) is generated and linked to the user's contact number and identification details, such as his name and NRIC number. These details are stored in a secure server, according to the TraceTogether website. The Ministry of Health (MOH) uses the identification details to contact the right person when necessary. When app or token users are near one another, their user IDs are exchanged in an encrypted and randomised form, and can be decrypted only by MOH. The encrypted Bluetooth data exchanged is stored in the app or token, and does not contain personal identifiable information. Bluetooth data older than 25 … [Read more...] about What data does TraceTogether collect?
You can collect your TraceTogether tokens at any of 108 CCs from Feb 1
SINGAPORE - From next Monday (Feb 1), the public can collect their TraceTogether tokens from any of the 108 community centres and clubs (CCs) in Singapore. Previously, collection was at selected CCs and people had to collect their tokens from the CCs in their own constituencies. More than 2.6 million tokens have been collected to date under the TraceTogether programme, which helps with tracing close contacts of confirmed Covid-19 patients so that they can be identified and quarantined quickly to limit the spread of the coronavirus in the community. At the end of October last year, 400,000 of the tokens had been collected. Existing token users can get their tokens replaced at the CCs if the batteries have run out or if the tokens are faulty, said the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office (SNDGO) in a Facebook post on Thursday. A token needs to be replaced if it has a blinking red light or when the light has stopped blinking. If the token has a green light that blinks … [Read more...] about You can collect your TraceTogether tokens at any of 108 CCs from Feb 1

Transgender minister lauds ‘collective intelligence’ in Taiwan COVID-19 battle
TAIPEI: Taiwan's widely praised handling of the coronavirus was largely due to collective intelligence and transparency – besides masks and hand-washing – according to its digital minister Audrey Tang. The island of 24 million people has recorded about 620 COVID-19 cases and seven deaths, and never went into a full lockdown, instead using technology, contact tracing and 14-day quarantines for arrivals to limit the outbreak. READ: Forming an air travel bubble with Singapore – After Hong Kong, which destination could be next? From the outset – when posts about a mysterious pneumonia in Wuhan, China were circulated on a Taiwan online forum, to a mobile app built by a citizen to map availability of face masks – authorities worked with the community on solutions, Tang said. "The government does not have a procurement relationship with civic tech. Anyone who has a good idea can approach us – it is fundamental to co-creation," said Tang, a transgender woman who was appointed … [Read more...] about Transgender minister lauds ‘collective intelligence’ in Taiwan COVID-19 battle
