Shld one report to MOH when ART +?
My friends daughter who went tele-consulting after getting covid was not advised to report to MOH therefore not officially recorded as a statistic and fam members not issued HRW. Is there a protocol to inform MOH when self tested positive ? I don't see this guidance too so I believe our daily numbers are very under reported...
Her teenager only got well without symptoms close to 7d later. To me, I feel this is quite severe given that she was fully vax, had high fever 2d and sore throat running nose throughout.
How to report or inform? -

There is no requirement to report if you test positive at home (ie. test is not mandatory because of work etc), and if you have no or mild symptoms. I don't know how you would report - the obvious route is to see a GP, but this will make the long queues longer. And if you have no/mild symptoms and no strong risk factors, you will be told to recover at home anyway. The main benefit of the case being reported is that your family members will probably get a HRW which entitles them to free ART kits (from a vending machine).

Not just for the free ART kits.

My kid received HRW issued by MOH earlier. She had to ensure she was ART negative before she could step out of the house (daily). So if someone positive is not on the record, then those in close contact and risked getting COVID has no legal obligation to do daily ART before leaving home.
DD1 said her JC recently has a lot of COVID positive cases and now is JC orientation week. Scary or not? I think yes, even though one may be mild or no symptoms.
DH says just console ourselves, ART kits cannot detect the stealth Omicron sub-variant. 😂 -
Perhaps the authority can explore allowing those who hv mild or no symptoms yet ART + to report, so that those around him ie his close contacts be alerted.

This one can submit? There is a question HRW Yes or No. However, per above the obligation seems to only exist if one received HRW (the HRW SMS requires you to acknowledge the HRW, test, etc).

One of my kid’s classmate just received a sms for HRW, (sigh!) do they collect the test kits from CC vending machine? Bring concession card to scan? Thanks!

Student card should be fine. I think most of the machines can also key in NRIC.

Check where to collect here. Some locations may be closer than CC (some at HDB void decks, etc).

Yuh hor… it will be useful to know what to do if we test positive for covid. Is there a web link for us to consult?
