What do former pilot Hisyamuddin Mohd Nasir, SAF Captain Daniel Koh, and former hotel sales executive Joanne Tan have in common?
They are part of a diverse team in the Ministry of Health, Singapore Contact Tracing Centres – one of the nerve centres in Singapore’s fight against COVID-19.
Last Friday, I paid them a visit together with Minister Lawrence Wong.
Our contact tracers analyse vast amounts of data - with the help of TraceTogether and SafeEntry - to identify close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases. They spend hours interviewing each infected individual, and activating quarantine and swab test facilities.
Working tirelessly, they help to ringfence possible new cases and prevent transmissions from spilling over to the community. Very aptly, the two teams at the MOH Contact Tracing Centres are named Marvel and DC. Indeed they are superheroes who help save the day.

Naming the contact tracing centres after superhero teams - that is extremely inspiring yet extremely useless.
