When you should do the COVID-19 Antigens Self-Test? 

As the COVID-19 is still in our community, it is very important for us to take precautionary steps to prevent the further spread of the infection. Besides wearing a mask, social distancing and proper hand washing or hand sanitising, you are recommended to do a COVID-19 Antigen self-test frequently to be clear of your infection status.

You are also encouraged to do the test after coming back from social gatherings or crowded places.

Please remember that the COVID-19 self kit is just a screening test. Therefore, please go to the clinic and get an RT-PCR test if your self-test result is positive. Don’t forget to report your result to the local authorities. Isolate yourself from your family and beloved ones or your housemates and they also may need to be tested if you are confirmed positive.
