RRT refers to Rostered Routine Testing where individuals will undergo swabbing on a routine basis, e.g. every 7 days. There are 2 types of RRT \u2013 Fast and Easy Testing (FET) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). FET is currently conducted by Antigen Rapid Test (ART) using ART kits. This can be done via self-swabbing using ART kits under the supervision of an appointed and trained staff in your firm, or at Quick Test Centres (QTC). A PCR swab test is a more accurate, confirmatory test where the individual will be swabbed by clinicians\/trained swabbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, this is a compulsory exercise for the cleaners and workers of the selected groups in high-risk settings (refer to \u201cMandatory Fast and Easy Testing Rostered-Routine Testing (FET-RRT)\u201d section), regardless whether they have been vaccinated or not. This is because vaccinated individuals may still contract COVID-19 or transmit the infection to others. Staff in other high-risk work settings e.g. F&B outlets, are also required to undergo FET-RRT under other sector leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FET-RRT is mandatory for staff working in certain high-risk settings and is administered by various Sector Leads depending on the work premises. A company may have workers undergoing FET-RRT under different Sector Leads due to the different work settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under NEA, the mandatory FET-RRT regimes are administered only for individuals\/staff working in the following work settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n
