Here's Where You Can Get Tested For COVID-19 In Each State
The test costs RM1 for Malaysians at public hospitals and health clinics.
Malaysians are currently dealing with the resurgence of COVID-19 in the country
With hundreds of new cases being recorded daily, it must be known that not every healthcare provider in the country has the necessary equipment nor protection to conduct COVID-19 swab tests.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) actually has designated hospitals across the country for COVID-19 screening, both in the public and private sectors, that will test you if you fall within certain criteria.
The test will cost Malaysians RM1 in public hospitals and health clinics, or RM100 to RM200 for non-Malaysians. Meanwhile, in private hospitals, the test is priced between RM350 and RM500.
Do note that all screening and testing mentioned in this story refers to the current gold standard diagnostic test for COVID-19: the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test that requires nasal or throat swab samples.
It is not to be mistaken with the Rapid Antigen Test (RTK) - which requires a blood sample - that the MOH has permitted only for low-risk people looking to get voluntarily tested in private hospitals, which will not be discussed here.
The MOH has listed specific criteria you have to fulfil to get tested
According to the ministry, a suspected COVID-19 case is a person who meets both clinical and epidemiological criteria.
Clinical Criteria
Unless there is a more likely diagnosis, COVID-19 is suspected when a person has at least two of the following symptoms:
- Fever
- Chills or rigors
- Myalgia (muscle ache)
- Headache
- Sore throat
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue
- Sudden onset nasal congestion or runny nose
A person can also be suspected of COVID-19 if they have one of the following symptoms:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Difficulty breathing
- Sudden new onset of anosmia (loss of smell)
- Sudden new onset of ageusia (loss of taste)
Or, if they present with sudden severe respiratory illness with at least clinical evidence of pneumonia (lung infection) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Epidemiological Criteria
A person fulfills this criteria if they have:
- Attended an event or been in red zones or areas associated with a known COVID-19 cluster,
- Travelled to or resided in a foreign country within 14 days before they begun displaying symptoms, or
- Been in close contact to a confirmed case of COVID-19 within 14 days before onset of illness.
