Singapore is about a week away from rolling out its portable contact-tracing device to help curb the spread of Covid-19. It will be small and may eventually come in different colours.
The first batch of the gadget, called TraceTogether Token, will have a battery that can last nine months, Minister-in-Charge of GovTech Singapore Janil Puthucheary said in an interview on June 24. It won’t be small enough to slip inside your jeans’ back pocket, but may fit in front pockets and would be easy enough to clip to a user’s bag, he added.
