Getting Tested For COVID-19 At Klinik Kesihatan Drive-Thru

Unfortunately my dad had to get tested for COVID-19 because he came in contact with someone last week, who tested positive last night. This person went to the Tabligh assembly. Please, don’t be stupid. Stay home.

It’s a drive-thru. My dad went early in the morning. Already loads of cars. It took him around four hours to get to his turn.

You fill out forms in the car

Name, IC number, the last time you came in contact with the person who tested positive etc.

Then it’s just a quick mouth swab and you wait three days for the results

They wouldn’t test my mum because she didn’t come in contact with the infected person

So if my dad does test positive, she’ll have to go back to be tested as well. Seems counter-productive. But never mind.

The test is free but you have to fulfill certain criteria to get it

• Come into contact with someone who has COVID-19
• Recently travelled to a high risk country and displaying COVID-19 symptoms

I heard the test in private hospitals costs around RM800. Crazy. Thank you KKM for making it free for people like my dad, and all medical staff for looking after the rakyat.

Everybody, just stay home.
