Private Clinic Covid-19 test

Good morning doctors,

My son’s daycare has a confirmed Covid 19 case that was traced back to the tabligh gathering last week. As I could not get in touch through the magnificient KKM Hotline numbers, I am reaching out here to understand if the tests provided by the private clinics are legitimate, the same as the one done in Sg Buloh and HKL and can be trusted.
Hopinng to hear back soon with some advice

Thank you

Greetings!

Thank you for your question. I understand that you are worried about the risk of COVID-19 infection. In order to identify if the private clinics are providing legitimate screening test, you should identify if KKM has an established collaboration with them. We also provide home testing services, accessible through this link: COVID-19 Screening At Home and we are collaborating with Ministry of Health. So far, the only information on the screening hospitals as stated in the list from this link. You may visit the hospitals in this list for a COVID-19 screening test. (Designated Hospital for COVID-19)

In the meantime. you and your family members can practice the guidelines from the Centre of Disease Control (CDC):

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Stay home when you are sick.
  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces

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.
