Some of the private clinics only swab during specific hours, so you should call to check first.
if one has diarrhoea, fever, loss of smell, sore throat or cough etc, just go to any PHPC clinic and pay $10 for consultation, swab test etc? -

Yes, diarrhea is common, can be from mild food poisoning to stomach flu.lee_yl\" post_id=\"2024142\" time=\"1621126993\" user_id=\"17023:

The Learning Point teacher went to see doctor and was told that her diarrhea and fever likely due to viral infection and was sent home without swabbing (on 9th May).
The guidelines for swabbing really vary from doctor to doctor as my friend’s kid similarly had diarrhea and fever and was swabbed for Covid on 5th May.
I find that we citizens as well as doctors were all ill informed that diarrhea could be a symptom of the new variant!! Everyone just looking out for respiratory symptoms.
And also, since day one I already doubted the usefulness of temperature scan to enter shopping malls to pick up Covid cases. This time round has shown the whole setup to be for show only!!
If one feels feverish, just pop a panadol then can still go pass the temperature scan. It only gives a false sense of confidence that everyone has been “scanned” and that it’s safe.
Diarrhea and fever is the same symptoms as a typical stomach flu symptoms, common on many childcare, student-care and schools setting. I don't think it also qualify under ARI symptoms.
I remember vividly diarrhea is a symptom of the new variant because someone forwarded me a chart before.
I am surprised the Learning Point teacher was sent home without swabbing. And the public seems ill informed about the new strain symptoms

Somehow I rem diarrhoea is one of the rare symptoms. Some Chinese in Wuhan had diarrhoea last year, so I was quite concerned at one point that I was visiting the toilet very often. Luckily it was due to my bingeing of Sichuan and Chongqing mala hotpot every week!

HBL from Wednesday onwards…
But tuition centers "should" move online. Weren’t tuition centers a big cause of this in the first place?
I don’t get it… -

HBL is a good move. At least, safer to stay at home. But I think there are some P6 students still taking mid year SA1 exam next week, until Friday then end. Their exam disrupted or their school postpone exam to July ?
