Risk with Covid-19, does screening test needed?

Would like to ask if my husband’s manager’s daughter was in a business meeting with a positive case on 6 March, are my husband and I recommended to do a screening test? We have no symptoms so far.

Hi!

Thank you for your question. I understand that you are worried about the risk of COVID-19 infection.

Screening test should be done based on your risk profile. 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.

After 5.00 pm till 12.00 am, please direct your enquiries to our DoctorOnCall website at this link https://www.doctoroncall.com.my/tanya/.
