Greetings!
Thank you for your question. If you are a direct contact of a positive COVID-19 patient, you are advised to go for screening as a precautionary measure. The infection of COVID-19 may not manifest any symptoms for 14-21 days post exposure. Hence, I urge you to visit a screening hospital for further evaluation.
You may visit the hospitals in this list for a COVID-19 screening test. (Designated Hospital for COVID-19)
We also provide home testing services, accessible through this link: COVID-19 Screening At Home.
Meanwhile, do take these measures to prevent the spread or contracting COVID-19.
- 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.
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/.
