However, if you’re feeling unwell, there is also the “Swab and Send Home” option at any Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPC). Do note that this will only be available to individuals who have received an SMS from MOH.

Public should constantly monitor their own health

Hopefully, individuals who have been notified will take the initiative to get their free swab tests done.

With due diligence and adhering to protocols and measures set by the Government, we’re hopeful that the situation will improve.

Till then, let’s continue giving our full cooperation to help fight the battle against Covid-19.
