Greetings!

We understand your worries especially with the development of symptoms indicative but not exclusive of COVID-19.

As you may already aware, fever is not specific to COVID-19 but can be presented in other conditions such as in common flu and other infections by bacteria or other viruses.

Therefore, your brother 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, he will be classified into several categories and further actions suggested will be provided according to the classification.

He is advised to monitor his symptoms and limit contact with other person. Practice hand washing and hand hygine and well as wear protective mask when you interact with other people. I would also like to advise him to stay home as ordered by the authorities.

The Ministry of Health has kindly provided the public with a list of hospital that handles COVID-19 screening. Click here (Designated Hospitals for COVID-19 Tests) for your reference.

We also provide home testing services, accessible through this link: COVID-19 Screening At Home.

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 DoctorOnCall Tanya.

With your cooperation, I hope we can conquer this outbreak before it get any worse. Thank you.
