MOH to offer free Covid-19 test to some workers

As the economy gradually reopens and more interactions are made between essential workers and members of the public, MOH has said it’s offering to test more workers in the community for Covid-19.

Workers who can be tested for free include:

 
  • Taxi and private-hire drivers
  • Food delivery riders
  • Vendors servicing migrant worker dormitories
  • Stallholders at hawker centres, markets, and coffee shops

The increased testing will allow the authorities to find out how prevalent the virus is among the population.

MS News wishes those infected a quick recovery.
