⚠️ Don't be misinformed by fake news on the #TraceTogether Token There is no concern with the radiation emitted from the Token and it is safe for everyday use. 🛡️✅ The Token facilitates contact tracing in the fight against COVID-19, using Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) to send and receive data. It transmits at a lower power than many consumer communications devices - such as mobile phones, Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and smart watches. From 17 May, we will need to use the TraceTogether Token/app to check-in at venues where #SafeEntry is required. Get the facts right, here: 👉 go.gov.sg/tt-150521 #TechforPublicGood #GovTechSG
