Where can you find these kiosks?
To date, the kiosks have been deployed at 5 locations – Braddell MRT station, Boon Keng MRT station, Tiong Bahru MRT station, Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange and Serangoon Bus Interchange. Prior to this deployment, a series of feasibility trials were conducted between February to March 2020. The feedback from user experiences have helped to improve the usability and system design.

What is SG United anyway?
I was confused as the Singapore government has an initiative called SG Together. So I wrote to MCCY and asked to explain what exactly SG United is and this was their response.
SG United is a rallying call for Singaporeans to overcome challenges arising from COVID-19. It is a community response to COVID-19, time-bound, and focuses on crisis response.

It’s good to know the Singapore government has got our backs!
