SINGAPORE: Those who need to take a supervised Covid-19 antigen rapid test (ART) can now do so over video consultation with a private healthcare provider. The results will be sent to users of the service via SMS and e-mail as quickly as within four hours.

A pilot programme to assess the feasibility of real-time virtually supervised self-swab ARTs is being conducted, Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) told The Straits Times on Sunday (Jan 16).
