Singapore plans to expand its Covid-19 “vaccinate or regular test” regime as the city state continues to tackle coronavirus, according to a statement from the Ministry of Health.

The country’s multi-ministry taskforce on Aug. 6 announced that unvaccinated individuals from sectors including healthcare, elderly care and those in settings with children aged 12 and under must be tested twice a week using antigen rapid tests, under the so-called VoRT regime, starting from Oct. 1.
