With effect from 1 July 2020, anyone aged 13 and above who has fever or flu symptoms will have to undergo swab test for COVID-19.
Your General Practitioner (GP) will perform a swab test on you at the clinic if the clinic is participating in the Swab and Send Home (SASH) initiative.
Healthsprings clinics are participating in SASH .
Previously, all swab tests for Covid-19 were done at hospitals.
Currently, polyclinics and some general practitioner clinics can participate in the SASH to help strengthen active case-finding in the community.
Patients who meet certain criteria are swabbed and then sent home to wait for their test results.
Updated Swab-and-Send-Home (SASH) criteria can be found on MOH’s site.
