Thank you for your question.

First and foremost, I understand your concern regarding this issue of coronavirus since there’s an outbreak of the virus. Since you are currently experiencing minor cough and runny nose with recent travel history to Belgium, you are encouraged to answer the quiz on [Risk Assessment for COVID-19]
(https://www.doctoroncall.com.my/coronavirus/how-to-find-out-if-i-have-coronavirus-online-test) to evaluate your health status in regards to this disease. After completing this quiz, you will be classified into several categories.

To address your question on where can you get tested for COVID-19, government hospital would do in any high risk individual. Apart from that, we also provide home testing services, accessible through this link: COVID-19 Screening At Home.

Besides COVID19, these symptoms can be caused by other health problems:

  • influenza
  • allergic rhinitis
  • sinusitis

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/.

I hope you would always be in your best health and thank you.
