JUST IN: COVID19 testing will be made more accessible in Singapore. From Dec 1, anyone who needs a PCR test will be able to get one at an approved provider, MOH says

“We know that timely COVID-19 testing, when complemented with safe distancing and safe management measures, is a formidable weapon against the pandemic. Testing is therefore a critical enabler and key strategy in our fight against COVID-19,” the health minister said.“Over the months, we have been enhancing our testing capabilities and extending testing to more community groups.

"But we also have to bear in mind that in addition to the cost of the testing, there's also significant costs involved in the setting up of the testing facility."

“So the test itself has certain costs, and we are discussing with the supplier to see whether we can make it more affordable as time goes on. With the volume, we hope to be able to reduce the overall costs," he added. With more activities expected to resume in Phase 3, Singapore should expect the number of community cases to go up, “perhaps to the low teens, maybe even to the 20s, or upwards in the 30s”, said Education Minister Lawrence Wong, who co-chairs the multi-ministry task force with Mr Gan.
