As in all other compulsory testing notices, all those who have received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine for at least 14 days are exempt.

Labour’s statement also warned that the government will seriously enforce compliance with the CTN, saying anyone who fails to get tested within the prescribed period commits an offence and may be fined a fixed penalty of $5,000.

Anyone issued with a fixed penalty ticket will also be ordered to comply with the CTN within a specified period. Those who resist the second order could be made to pay a further fine of $25,000 and jailed for six months.

All FDHs who got tested should keep the SMS notification of their test result for checking by law enforces.
