Post new topic

Are the results of the test  published or regsitred with the government?

The rapid test I bought from drogaria require no intervention from any agency or company. You take the test and you alone see the result in 15 minutes. 


I'm not sure about the test conducted by pharmacist at the pharmacy. I've had them before international flights and I know they are registered with my CPF, but don't know if the results are collected by government...

OK thanks, I don't have a cpf, I will do a self test first I think.

All of the tests done at the pharmacies, laboratories, hospitals, airports etc are collected by the government. The rapid self tests at home aren't.


The difference is that the rapid self tests aren't accepted by travel agencies but the ones done in laboratories, hospitals and airports are accepted. I've heard stories that the ones from pharmacies are risky to take a chance and it's basically a 50/50 chance if the agency accepts or not.

Thanks all, they took my passport number for the form. It was my girlfriend that requested proof on paper lol. Is that normal here, are people normally distrusting of others?
