Antigen Rapid Test (ART) is a fast and easy swab test which can be self-administered, for individuals to test if they might be infected with the COVID-19 virus.
Note: Workers must not perform the ART self-testing if they
- Had nosebleed in the past 24 hours.
- Had nasal surgery in the last 4 weeks.
- Had facial surgery in the last 8 weeks.
Migrant workers with acute respiratory illness (ARI) e.g. fever, cough, running nose or sore throat are to seek medical treatment.
For workers with a Primary Care Plan (PCP), they should seek medical treatment at the Medical Centre or Designated Clinics or consult a telemedicine provider using FWMOMCare with the provider that your worker has a Primary Care Plan (PCP) with.
For workers who do not have a PCP yet, relevant charges will apply.
