We would highly encourage you to make an appointment before heading down to any of DTAP’s clinics for the COVID 19 PCR swab. This is to ensure safe distancing is adhered to. Your health and safety are of our priority.
No. There is no special preparation that needs to be done before coming for the test. There is NO need to clean your nose with any substances. In fact, that may cause an error in the results.
A small cotton swab is inserted into each of your nostrils and left in each nostril for a few seconds in order for any liquid in your nostrils to be soaked up by the cotton swab. This is to ensure that the results are accurate. You may feel uncomfortable as the swab is inserted into your nostrils but it would NOT be painful. You may experiencing some tearing form your eyes. The whole process will only take 30 seconds or less.
The results will be available on the next working day.
MOH will be notified of the positive results. MOH officers will contact you and will advise you on further actions. You are required by law under the Infectious Disease Act to NOT leave your home until MOH contacts you with further instructions. Failure to comply with the Infectious Disease Act may mean that you may be fined or jailed or both. You may also be required to undergo additional testing by MOH.
The total cost of the testing will be $140 (inclusive of GST but excludes consultation).
Free COVID PCR testing or $11 testing is for Singapore citizens who have symptoms and are referred to SASH clinics or if they were required by MOH to do the testing. For persons wanting to pre-departure swab testing for travel purposes, they are not eligible for free or subsidized testing.
Safe distancing practices are adhered to in our clinics. Persons doing the test are only allowed to remove their mask during the performance of the swabbing of the nostrils. The surfaces of the area like the tables and chairs where the swab is taken cleaned after every patient with disinfectant wipes. Samples taken from patients are processed in special equipment that will prevent aerosols (tiny droplets) from escaping into the clinic. The doctor or staff who is in the same room when the swab is being taken will be wearing full personal protective equipment like head net, face shield, N95 mask, waterproof gown and gloves. The glove will be changed for each patient. Also every 2 hours, the room will be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant.
Your health and safety is of our utmost priority. – PCR Test Singapore
