親愛的同學和同事們:
新加坡為有效防控疫情的社區傳播，採取了一系列措施對COVID-19病例進行初期檢測。衛生部（MOH）6月8日宣布，將對所有患有咳嗽、喉嚨痛和流鼻涕等急性呼吸道感染(ARI)症狀的高等教育機構（IHLs）學生和職工優先進行COVID-19檢測。
COVID-19檢測將是繼斷路器抗疫措施之後政府得以全力重啟秩序的關鍵因素。這項措施與其他已經展開的安全管理舉措互為補充，共同保衛學生和員工們的健康和安全。
如果你出現呼吸道感染症狀
1. 員工請選擇AVIVA指定全科醫生診所名單中的一家前往，這些診所都參與了拭子檢測計劃(SASH), 當你需要進行拭子檢測時可以免於在多家診所間輾轉。參與SASH計劃的全科診所名單如下：phpc.gov.sg
2. 學生請前往 Fullerton Group 指定的任意一家全科醫生診所，加入南洋理工學生醫療計劃。然後更具需要轉去相應的SASH診所。學生醫療計劃診所名單如下：

3. 請注意，南大校醫院診所目前仍在等待衛生部批准成為指定的SASH診所。
如果你被診斷為急性呼吸道感染
1. 確診為急性呼吸道感染的學生和員工將優先進行COVID-19檢測。
2. 如果你已經前往一家拭子檢測計劃(SASH)診所，你的COVID-19拭子檢測也將在這家診所進行。
3. 在其他診所，醫生會建議你去SASH計劃下的綜合診所或公共衛生防範診所（PHPC）做COVID-19拭子測試, 或前往健康建設委員會設立的區域檢查中心。
4. 教師、教職員和學生須告知醫生您來自NTU，醫生會要求你出示身份證明來安排檢測。除了你的個人身份證明（如NRIC或Work Pass）外，還需要攜帶你的工作人員通行證（staff pass），或你的學生入學證（student matriculation card）。
5. 被送去進行檢測的員工和學生將獲得醫生開具的Medical Leave。拭子測試無需付費。
6. 等待COVID-19拭子測試結果的工作人員和學生不得進入校園，也不得參加任何面授課程。請留在家中（或Hall rooms內），儘量自我隔離，保持良好的個人衛生，並注意自己的健康狀況。此外，你還必須保持可聯繫的狀態。大部分結果會在3個工作日內出來，結果出來後醫生會聯繫你。
如果你已進行COVID-19檢測
1. 你收到COVID-19檢測結果通知後，須儘快通過電子郵件[email protected] 或電話 6513-2736 / 6790-5200將檢測結果告知學校。
2. 一旦您提供了相關細節，學校將告知您接下來的步驟。
3. 衛生部將直接與確診人的密切接觸者聯繫。如果有確診個案對學校社區成員構成接觸風險，學校將通知可能有風險的人士。
4. 如果您了解確診病例的身份，我們希望您尊重他們的隱私，以便他們能夠更好地關注自己的健康和康復。
隨著我們進入斷路器的第二階段，作為一個負責任的社區，我們需要加強努力，確保我們自己和我們周圍的人的安全和健康。如有不適請立即就醫，特別是出現呼吸系統不適和症狀。
如需最新資訊，請瀏覽南大內部網、衛生部及教育部網站。

Dear Students and Colleagues,
As part of national measures for the early detection of COVID-19 cases in order to contain any potential community spread, the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced on 8 June that all students and employees of institutes of higher learning (IHLs) who are unwell with Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) symptoms such as cough, sore throat, and runny nose, will be prioritised for COVID-19 testing.
COVID-19 testing will be a key enabler of the government’s overall efforts to safely re-open after the circuit breaker. It complements the other safe management measures that have been put in place to safeguard the wellbeing and safety of students and employees.
If you are unwell with respiratory symptoms:
Employees are to visit a general practitioner (GP) clinic from the list of panel GP clinics by AVIVA that is participating in the Swab-and-Send-Home (SASH) initiative, so as to avoid potentially having to visit multiple clinics should a swab be required. A list of GP clinics under the SASH initiative can be found at the following website: phpc.gov.sg.
Students are to visit one of the selected GP clinics under Fullerton Group so that they will be covered under NTU’s Medical Scheme for students. They will then be referred to a SASH clinic where necessary. For a list of clinics on the Medical Scheme, please visit this NTU web page.
Please note that the Fullerton Clinic on the NTU campus is presently still pending approval from the Ministry of Health to be a designated SASH clinic. They are currently not yet designated as a SASH clinic.
If you are diagnosed with Acute Respiratory Infection:
Students and employees who are diagnosed with ARI will be prioritised for COVID-19 testing.
Those who visit a clinic under the Swab-and-Send-Home (SASH) scheme will undergo the COVID-19 swab test at the same clinic.
For all other clinics, the doctor will refer you to undergo the COVID-19 swab test at a polyclinic or Public Health Preparedness Clinic (PHPC) participating in the SASH initiative, or Regional Screening Centre set up by the Health Promotion Board.
Faculty, staff and students must inform the doctor that you are from NTU, and doctors will require proof of identity to make the arrangements for the test. In addition to your personal identification, e.g. NRIC or Work Pass, please note that you are required to bring along your staff pass, or your student matriculation card.
Staff and students who have been sent for testing will be covered by the Medical Leave issued by the doctor. No payment will be required for the swab test.
Staff and students who are awaiting your COVID-19 swab test results must not come to campus nor attend any face-to-face classes. Please remain at home (or in your Hall rooms), self-isolate as much as possible, observe good personal hygiene, and monitor your health. You must also remain contactable. Most results will be available within 3 working days, and the doctor will contact you about the results.
If you undergo testing for COVID-19:
Once you have been notified of your COVID-19 test results, you must immediately notify the University of the test results by email ([email protected]), or phone (Tel: 6513-2736, or 24-hour Security Hotline: 6790-5200 after office hours).
The University will advise you of any next steps once you have provided the relevant details.
Individuals who are deemed to be close contacts of an NTU student or employee who has tested positive for COVID-19 will be contacted directly by MOH. If there is a confirmed case that poses a risk of exposure to members of the NTU community, the University will notify those who may be at risk.
If you should become aware of the identity of a confirmed case, we urge you to please respect their privacy so they can focus completely on their personal health and recovery.
As we move into Phase 2 of the circuit breaker, we will need to step up our efforts as a responsible community to ensure our safety and health, and that of those around us. Please see a doctor immediately if you are unwell, especially if you experience respiratory discomfort and symptoms.
For the latest information, visit NTU’s Intranet page, as well as the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education websites.
Sincerely,
Ling San
Deputy President and Provost
Tan Aik Na
Senior Vice President (Administration)
