COVID-19 Testing Singapore
The world has finally opened up and Singapore is moving forward. But to err on the side of caution, some places still require a supervised ART, pre-departure PCR tests, or vaccination certificate. Look no further - Speedoc can help.
Our COVID-19 tests are valid as pre-departure testing as well. Protect your family and keep your loved ones safe.
What is COVID-19 testing?
COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and is commonly characterised by fever, cough, tiredness, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, headache, body aches, diarrhoea, rash, and red or irritated eyes. Some serious symptoms include breathlessness, chest pain, or confusion.
There are various tests that can help identify if someone is infected even if they are asymptomatic.
How does COVID-19 testing work in Singapore?
At Speedoc, our Ministry of Health (MOH)-registered doctors will test you for COVID-19 from the comforts of your own home. Our tests are MOH approved and you can be rest assured that all tests will be performed with proper techniques.
Depending on what your requirements are, there are several tests you can choose from:
COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test (ART)
Screens for SARS-CoV-2, a virus that causes COVID-19. It is a quick screening tool to pick up any possible infection. Your results will be ready within 15 to 30 minutes.
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) COVID-19 swab tests
This is the worldwide gold standard test for COVID-19 as it is the most accurate and definitive test that directly detects the presence of the COVID-19 antigen in an individual. Your results will be out between 24 to 48 hours*; you may also opt for the express option for a faster processing time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of COVID-19 at home swab tests are offered by Speedoc?
Speedoc offers two of the most effective and recognised COVID-19 swab tests - the Antigen Rapid Test (ART) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). However, the result from an ART COVID-19 swab test is faster while PCR is more accurate.
Who needs to be informed if my COVID-19 test comes up positive?
Apart from informing your family members, friends, employers, or employees, the process of contact tracing should now kick into action. Speedoc will log your positive result with the relevant government authorities to start identifying, assessing, and managing those you have been in contact with.
Who needs to get at-home COVID-19 swab tests?
The home COVID-19 tests are for those who find it difficult to get to a clinic or hospital to get tested. This way, our medical team will come to you instead.
Is it possible to have a fake-positive swab test result?
Yes, the swab tests are done in accordance with Singapore’s MOH guidelines that meet the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) recommendation of at least 80% sensitivity and 97% for specificity. This means that they will be able to pick up at least 80% of individuals who are infected with COVID-19, and will show a result of 3% false positives in healthy individuals. ART swab tests produce faster results but with lower accuracy rate compared to PCR tests. In such instances, a second swab test is recommended.
Is the COVID-19 home swab test done by Speedoc recognised?
Yes, the COVID-19 swab tests are performed and overseen by professionally-licensed doctors, nurses and trained swabbers. The ART swab is validated for use by MOH; and the PCR samples are sent to MOH-accredited laboratories.
How will I get to the hospital?
Refrain from driving yourself to the hospital or using public transportation if you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. The Singapore MOH will make arrangements to transport you to the hospital according to the latest protocols. Otherwise, you can book a private ambulance with Speedoc’s app to get you to the hospital.
What if I am experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, like coughing, flu, or fever?
Yes, you can get Speedoc’s doctors to come to your home to perform an at-home COVID-19 swab test. However, if you’re experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, for instance, flu, cough, or fever, please inform us in advance. This is so that we can bring along with us the necessary equipment and tools for the swab test.
