The protocols and procedures for testing and isolation of COVID-19 cases will be significantly simplified from 11 October and streamlined into three protocols.

At a COVID multi-ministry taskforce virtual press conference on Saturday , Health Minister and MTF co-chair Ong Ye Kung said that a key move is to reserve polymerase chain reaction testing mainly for individuals who feel unwell and have symptoms.

They will be isolated for 10 days if they are fully vaccinated ; or isolated for 14 days if they are unvaccinated. Upon being notified of the HRW , the person should immediately self-isolate, and test himself with an ART on the day of the HRW issuance and upload the Day 1 ART result based on the instruction in the HRW notification. He can continue with normal activities for the day if the test is negative. For subsequent days, that is Day 2 to 7, the person should test ART negative on same day before going out. If the person tests positive on any of these ART tests, he should follow Protocol 2 above.
