Thank you for your questions. First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding your symptoms. Especially now, we’re in the midst of coronavirus outbreak.

According to WHO, here are the common symptoms observed in patient with coronavirus infection.

Apart from COVID-19, shortness of breathe can be due to multiple health conditions such as:

  • anemia
  • asthma
  • pneumonia
  • GERD
  • COPD

However, it is difficult to distinguish coronavirus infection from other health problems that manifest almost similar symptoms. Thus, 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 with appropriate steps that should be taken.This initiative is to reduce crowd coming to the hospital for screening in fear of coronavirus infection as well as to avoid you going out of the house unnecessarily.

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.
