Both testing sites will be open Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
OPEN TO ALL The drive-thru COVID-19 testing center at Quirino Grandstand in Manila, where close to 500 people were able to avail themselves of free coronavirus testing on Saturday. For Manila residents, results of their blood samples will be delivered to their homes, whereas nonresidents are asked to return to this testing area to get their results. Services will resume this week from Monday to Friday.
The local government project is open to all, including non-Manila residents, free of charge. Persons who wish tested only need to present a valid ID.Health workers extract blood samples, which will then be examined using newly purchased serology machines at the three city hospitals—Gat Andres Bonifacio Memorial Medical Center, Ospital ng Sampaloc and Ospital ng Maynila.The serology machine detects the presence of the IgG antibody for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Will the subsequent swab testing for positive patients be shouldered again by the Manila LGU?
Yung hindi magawa ng gobyerno, City of Manila ang nakagawa. Anyone who wishes to get tested ay pinapayagan nila kahit hindi residente ng Manila. It's a big sum of money na mawawala sa kaban ng Manila pero sobrang galing ang ginagawa nila. 👍👏
