The FET will be made mandatory from mid-July 2021 for all instructors and staff who come into contact with unmasked persons in the course of their work. They are required to be on a regular FET regime using tests such as the Antigen Rapid Test (ART), regardless of their vaccination status.<\/p>\n<p>This email provides some information on the necessary follow-ups required by those of you who are <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">SEP arts instructors<\/span>\u00a0in the following fields:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dance<\/li>\n<li>Singing<\/li>\n<li>Wind\/brass instruments, and<\/li>\n<li>Voice and theatre training (including speech and drama, actor training).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Instructors conducting <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">MASKED<\/span> dance, singing, wind\/brass instruments, voice and theatre training (including speech and drama, acting training) activities: Do inform NAC <a href=\"http:\/\/www.go.gov.sg\/artsculturesepfet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> if you have no intention to conduct mask-off activities, i.e. no need to take part in FET.<\/p>\n<p>Instructors conducting <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">UNMASKED<\/span> singing, wind\/brass instruments, voice and theatre training (including speech and drama, actor training) activities: Register your preference for an appointment at a Quick Test Centre (QTC) via this form <a href=\"http:\/\/www.go.gov.sg\/artsculturesepfet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You will be assigned a time slot based on a first-come-first-serve basis.
