Fast and Easy Testing

(FET) Guide

for F&B Businesses

Fast and Easy (FET) testing for F&BFast and Easy Testing (FET) is mandatory for all F&B outlet staff. F&B with dine-in is a high-risk setting as staff interact with unmasked diners.

2

Who needs to be tested

• Outlet staff (Front of House, Back of House; full time, part time, 3rd party contracted staff including cleaners)

• F&B establishments with dine-in (i.e. Restaurants, Cafes, Food Courts, Coffee Shops, Hawker Centres)

When does mandatory FET commence

• 15 Jul 2021

• From 22 July 2021 through 18 August 2021, businesses previously on mandatory FET that remain open for delivery/takeaway must ensure that staff continue to be on the FET regime

Who will pay for the cost of testing

• Costs of test kits and training for employees will be fully funded until 30 Sep

• Zero cost to companies in the initial roll-out phases

Swab modality Coverage Lead agency

(a) Employer Supervised Self-Swab (ESSS)* either

on-site or virtual

• All F&B establishments (excluding hawker centres) ESG, SFA, HDB,

STB

(b) QTCs (Quick Test Centres) • Hawker centres NEA

How often will testing be under FET

• 14-days regular testing

*Companies are advised to consider a 1:5 supervisor-employee ratio for both on-site and virtual ESSS.

Training Requirements to Support Testing Modalities

Overview

• The supervisory training in ART swab is 4 hours in duration and conducted via Zoom

• First class commenced on 18 June 2021

• Free for 3 months (18 Jun to 30 Sep) for all to attend

• Companies can send up to two employees per outlet

• Certificate of attendance will be issued one month after the course

• Learners can conduct Antigen Rapid Test (ART) Supervision Duties immediately after completing this 4 hours

synchronous course (3 time slots: 8am-12pm, 2pm-6pm & 6pm-10pm)

Course evaluation

As this is only a Certificate of Attendance but not a competency based course, HMI will use the quiz to evaluate

the level of understanding and reinforce the topics as required. There will be no formal assessment to be

conducted.

Additional requirements

• Supervisors above 50 years old need to be fully vaccinated, i.e. received both vaccinations from our national vaccination programme and 14 days after last vaccine dose

Roles & responsibilities of Site Supervisors

• Do not have any Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) symptoms

• Do not have any nosebleed (past 24hrs), facial surgery (last 8 weeks), nasal surgery (last 4 weeks)

• Ensure the below measures are observed

• Don face shield & surgical 3-ply face mask

• To keep 3m distance from employee conducting self-swab

• Test kits must be disposed of in closed bins (e.g. pedal bins) and waste must then be double-bagged and cable-tied before placing them at the disposal holding area (which must be located away from human traffic and public access to prevent unintended exposure and cross contamination)

• Ensure that self-swabbing and testing is done properly, e.g. through observation of the individuals performing the self-swab and testing

• Ensure Safe Management Measures (SMMs) are observed

• Attendance-taking and collection and documentation of results

Infection Prevention & Control Guidelines

IPC Requirements for supervisors to note

• Don face shield & surgical 3-ply face mask

• To keep 3m distance from employee conducting self-swab

• Preferably to conduct self-swabs in an outdoor setting, or indoor with ample ventilation (open windows/doors and fans). It is not ideal to have air-conditioning at swab location and hence, air-conditioning to be switched off (where possible)

• There should be minimal items at the swab stations

• The individual should wipe down the swab station before and after swabbing. The supervisor/ trained swabber should also ensure that the wipe down of each station is done properly

• The flooring at swabbing zone should have a smooth surface (e.g. linoleum, vinyl finish, concrete, hard flooring) to facilitate ease of cleaning, such as mopping. The use of carpeted areas are strongly discouraged as it is difficult to clean and would have to be wet-vacuumed / deep cleaned / removed and discarded after the end of the operations. If not possible, carpeted areas must be covered with a smooth finish surface.

• The swab area should be properly cleaned at the end of the swabbing session for the day.

• Test kits must be disposed of in closed bins (e.g. pedal bins) andwaste must be then be double-bagged and cable-tied before placing them at the disposal holding area (which must be located away from human traffic and public access to prevent unintended exposure and cross contamination)

• Wash your hands with soap and water (via the 8

simple steps)*

OR

• Rub hands with hand sanitiser for at least 30 seconds

• Call SASH clinic to make an appointment

prior.

• Travel to clinic via private transport (e.g.

AG+ Results Handling Workflow – Conducted at Home / Workplace (Supervised)

Upon receiving AG+/Twice AG Invalid results

1) For SASH PHPCs, clients/employers must call the clinic to make an appointment and confirm that they are able to obtain a confirmatory PCR test during their visit,

before heading down to the clinic. The list of SASH PHPCs can be found at http://phpc.gov.sg.

2) AG+/Double AG Invalid individuals should travel via private transport (car or taxi) with the windows wound down (air conditioning switched off). In addition,

individuals should wear a surgical mask and sit alone in the back seat (on the other side from driver).

3) The following list of private transport service providers are available for booking. Transport costs would be borne by the client/employer.

a. Employers/workers are required to inform the hotline operator that the worker is going to a SASH PHPC for his swab test.

b. For booking through mobile app, employers/workers must key “SHN” in the chat/note/comment box or check the SHN checkbox (if provided within the app).

testing)– hardcopy or digital copy for tests conducted at workplace, or ask employee to take a photo of their ART results + ID for tests conducted at

home. Clients should present the document/photo for verification at the SASH clinic.

5) Employers should ensure that all AG+ individuals go for a confirmatory PCR swab.

AG+ and Double AG Invalid

results must be submitted

1) Prior to arrival at the swab site, SafeEntry and temperature taking should be done. Individualswith acute respiratory infection should be denied entry and asked to see a doctorimmediately. Individuals with Contraindications will be assessed accordingly (see slide“Handling Contraindications”).

2) Each individual is to be registered upon entry. Please ensure that Safe Management Measures(SMMs) are in place during the registration process.

3) The following items should be pre-placed at each swab station:

• A small standing mirror (for individuals to administer self-swabs);

• A box of 70% alcohol wipes for wipe down of the mirror and the environment before and afterswabbing;

• A bottle of hand sanitizer; and

• A Ziploc bag containing 1 swab stick, 1 reaction tube and 1 test device required for ART. Theziplock bag with test kits could also be handed to the individual at registration.

4) Instruction cards / infographics can be displayed at the front of swab site at line of sight to theindividuals.

22

Proposed Operational Workflow for Supervisor-led Self Swab on D-Day [1/2]

Activities at the swab stations

1) Individuals to perform hand hygiene before commencing swabbing.

2) Individuals to carry out self-swab. After the testing has been done, the swab stick, reaction tubeand the test device may then be placed into the Ziploc bag (with client ID) and the Ziploc bagsealed. The test device should be laid flat and the results may be read in 15- 20 mins. Pleaserefer to the manufacturer’s instructions on the exact steps to conduct the test (test kitdependent).

3) Dispose the Ziploc bag that contains the swab stick, the reaction tube, into bins (double baggedand with cover/lid).

4) Individuals are to wipe down the swab station (including the table and the mirror) with the 70%alcohol wipes and perform hand hygiene before leaving the swab station. Infographics on howto perform proper hand hygiene may be laid out. Individual proceeds to work*

5) Follow-up actions for AG+ individuals should be taken accordingly.

Result Interpretation using SD Bio Sensor

If a line appears at both the “C”

and “T” position, this indicates

a positive test. Please seek

medical attention for further

evaluation and confirmatory

testing.

If a line appears at only the

“C” position, this indicates a

negative test.

If a line appears at only

the “T” position, this

indicates an invalid test.

Please repeat the test with

another kit.

For more information, please visit http://go.gov.sg/art-instructions
