SARS-CoV-2 PCR Swab Test for COVID-19 Available for Pre-Departure Testing

The Ministry of Health (MOH) invited Parkway Laboratory Services (PLS) to provide SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing for travellers who require pre-departure testing under the current approved green lane travel channels. These tests will come under the governance of the “Swab and Send Home (SASH)” programme for General Practitioners (GPs) with effect from 1 August 2020.

Travellers MUST fulfill at least one of the following conditions:

• Persons with an approval letter from a Singapore govt agency,
• Persons travelling under RGLs (Malaysia and China as of now), or 
• Persons with pre-approved business pass

All other travellers are not permitted.

COVID-19 pre-flight swab tests are available at selected SASH Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs).
