Where can I get tested for Covid-19?

I will tell my patients to practise the following measures: Wash hands frequently Practise social distancing, avoid crowded areas Stay home unless it is absolutely necessary to go out Wear a mask if possible Avoid touching your hands, face and mouth Seek medical attention early if you are feeling unwell You may also use this newly-launched website, sgcovidcheck. gov. sg, to guide you on where to seek medical attention, depending on your symptoms and risk factors.

The government subsidizes COVID-19 testing if referred by a GP or PHPC clinic under suspect case definitions. If it is for casual testing, then one may have to pay for it at the private laboratories. The most widely used COVID-19 test in the hospitals and NCID is the PCR Fortitude test kit which is developed by A*Star. Serology test kits are beginning to emerge in private clinics but they are to be used cautiously as the clinical evidence is not well-established as yet.
