Hi!
Thank you for your question. I understand that you are worried about the risk of COVID-19 infection.
Apart from COVID-19, there are many health conditions that can contribute to persistent fever.
- dengue fever
- inflammation
- common cold
- pneumonia
Nevertheless, as we know that it is difficult to distinguish the cause of your symptoms only from history. Screening test for COVID-19 will be done based on your risk. In order to identify your level of risk profile, You are encouraged to 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.
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.
