Infection of covid-19

Instead of going to hospital, any possiblity for us to do medical testing on the possible infection of COVID-19 for ourselves?

Thank you for your question. First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms and other health problems you might be facing. It is quite impossible to do medical testing by yourself as the medical tests require proper instruments and apparatus from the hospital to analyse your sputum and blood sample. There is a special technique called Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) which cannot be done simply at home. Hence, you will still need to visit the hospital if you are suspected to have COVID-19 infection.

The answers given regarding your current queries are just general descriptions. In order for us to provide you with an accurate choice of treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints. Therefore, we greatly suggest that you refer this to your nearest medical doctor.

We assure you that our conversations are kept in confidentiality unless additional consultation needed with other medical parties. Thank you .
