Greetings!

We understand your worries especially with the development of symptoms indicative but not exclusive of COVID-19.

As you might already know, the signs and symptoms of coronavirus infection is very general and mimic other kind of problem. From the symptoms you’ve experience there are other factor that might contribute to it. Such as:

• Other bacterial or viral infection

• Asthma

• Allergic Rhinitis

• Pneumonia

• Tuberculosis

Thus, only from the symptoms, it is difficult to distinguish coronavirus infection from other health problems that manifest almost similar symptoms as COVID-19.

To help the medical profession to decide, we’ll look into the risk of the individual. You can answer the quiz on Risk Assessment for COVID-19 to evaluate your health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories with appropriate steps that should be taken. This initiative done to reduce crowd coming to hospital to do screening in fear of coronavirus. It is as well as to limit your movement out from home without any solid reason.

To answer your question, test would only be offer by public hospital to those who are high risk and fulfill their criteria. However you can opt for private test through this link COVID-19 Screening At Home.

You may consult a MOH doctor by clicking Ask Doctor at the Ministry of Health website (COVID-19 Portal) to ask any health issues related to COVID-19 starting from 8.30 am to 5.00 pm.
