Bill introduces stiffer penalties for unauthorised use of contact-tracing data

Singapore

PENALTIES for the unauthorised use or disclosure of personal contact-tracing data will be more severe than in prevailing laws governing public-sector data, under an amendment Bill introduced in Parliament on Monday.

The Bill amends the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act, to formalise the government's earlier assurances that TraceTogether data may be accessed by the police only for specified serious offences.
