The StayHome@SG App is a platform provided by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) to facilitate the self-registration of the wristband and gateway device(s) issued to you by ICA to enhance Singapore’s efforts in the fight against COVID-19 through its Stay Home Notice programme. The devices issued to you do not interact with the App.
