SINGAPORE - The nation s digitalisation efforts over the years have placed Singapore in a good position in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, said Minister-in-charge of the Smart Nation Initiative Vivian Balakrishnan on Friday (Feb 26).
Here are five areas where digitalisation efforts have helped the nation cope in this pandemic, according to the Smart Nation and Digital Government Group (SNDGG).
1. An online appointment system for Covid-19 vaccinations
Through the National Appointment System for Covid-19 Vaccination, the public can register online and book appointments to receive their inoculation jabs. An eligibility questionnaire is administered online to identify those suitable for the jabs, and 250,000 people have received their first dose of the vaccine, as at Sunday.
