SINGAPORE - New ground will be broken this week when participants at the Singapore International Energy Week 2020 undergo pre-event swab tests for Covid-19.
Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said last week:"This does not mean that we can throw caution to the wind and ignore safe management measures at these events. So even if the test results are negative, safe management measures will still have to be strictly adhered to." The results will be sent to participants via SMS. Those testing negative will be able to go to their meetings, which will take place in zones of up to 50 people.
Aside from the pre-event testing, SIEW 2020 will be held in a hybrid format that combines on-site events at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre with virtual ones. ST understands that a team of 35 social distancing ambassadors will be deployed at the Asia Clean Energy Summit, which spans three of the five days of SIEW 2020, to ensure participants comply with safety measures.
