No more temperature screening at public places

On 7 February 2020, Singapore raised the risk assessment of Covid-19 from DORSCON Yellow to DORSCON Orange. Temperature screening at large scale events was made mandatory.

After one year and six months (18 months), temperature screening is no longer required at public places from today (19 August 2021).

The requirement was lifted under “Transition towards Covid-19 Resilience” phase. As at 17 August, 77% of population are already vaccinated with two doses of the vaccines.

We came a long way to remove temperature screening at public places. This is a psychological boost to our confidence in living with Covid-19.

Still we still need to keep safe. Covid-19 coronavirus is not eradicated.
