Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Vaccination & PET-Exemption

1. Will on-site pre-event testing be provided?
No, on-site pre-event testing will not be provided. Worshippers will need to visit any clinics offering
ART or PCR testing services (https://www.moh.gov.sg/licensing-and-regulation/regulations-
guidelines-and-circulars/details/list-of-covid-19-swab-providers) to undergo their own pre-event
testing. Costs of pre-event testing will be borne by the worshipper. Please note that DIY Home Kit
swab tests cannot be used in lieu of clinic-conducted pre-event testing.

2. How will my vaccination / PET-exemption status be verified?
Worshippers are encouraged to upload their vaccination reports to our Worshippers’ Database at
https://faithmc.sg/myparticulars for pre-verification. You can obtain your vaccination report via the
Singpass App under HealthHub -> COVID-19 Records -> Vaccination Records -> Download PDF.
Worshippers can also submit a hardcopy of their COVID-19 Vaccination Report at our service / event
venues for inclusion in our Worshippers’ Database. Please note that only vaccination reports
showing a fully vaccinated status will be accepted for pre-verification (i.e. no “In Progress” reports).

Pre-verified worshippers will then be granted entry to our service / event venues upon verification
of your name or by showing your vaccination status on the TraceTogether App.

Worshippers who have not been pre-verified can either:
i) Show their vaccination status on the TraceTogether App, or
ii) Present a hardcopy of their COVID-19 Vaccination Report, COVID-19 Test Result Notice (ART),
COVID-19 Test Result Notice (PCR), or PET Exemption Notice. Please click here for examples of

i) Visit any clinics offering ART or PCR testing services (https://www.moh.gov.sg/licensing-and-
regulation/regulations-guidelines-and-circulars/details/list-of-covid-19-swab-providers) to undergo
their own pre-event testing, and bring along their test results for entry (refer point 2ii). Please note
