After verifying that their address is correct, they will receive alerts when the kits have been deposited into their mailboxes. MOH, in a Facebook post last month, had said it could take a few weeks for some households to receive their kits due to the volume involved.Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, in announcing the start of the distribution exercise on July 18, said self-testing"has become a familiar part of our lives now".

He also urged those with acute respiratory symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat or fever to test themselves daily as a positive result may only develop some days after symptoms have begun.So far, the Government has given out close to 25 million ART kits to households via two earlier nationwide distributions - one from August to September last year and another from October to December 2020.
