SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Health is reviewing its COVID-19 processes and arrangements to be more inclusive of people with special needs, Parliamentary Secretary for Health Rahayu Mahzam said on Wednesday .

He is a client at MINDSville@Napiri, which is currently an open cluster. As of Tuesday, 33 people from the home for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities were diagnosed with COVID-19. She added that although she was his caregiver and “the person who was most equipped to handle my brother and his needs, I was instructed to watch from a distance”.“All the swabbers took turns trying to swab my brother, who became increasingly frustrated and was on the brink of an aggressive meltdown,” she said.

"We recognise that the swab process and the quarantine can be more challenging for persons with special needs as they may not be comfortable with unfamiliar people or environment." She said that the ministry will also look into the various feedback received, including studying the effectiveness of deploying alternative COVID-19 tests while balancing the considerations for speed, comfort and accuracy of the test.
