Self-test kit for both Covid-19 and two types of flu now available here

|March 29, 2025
A self-test kit that you can use at home to check if you have Covid-19 or influenza A or B is now available to consumers here.
The three-in-one test kit looks and works like a Covid-19 antigen rapid test kit. It shows results for Covid-19 as well as the two common types of flu.
Results can be obtained in about 10 minutes with the use of a single nasal swab, said manufacturer CorDx.
CorDx general manager Angel Tan said the product—called CorDx Tyfast Flu A/B & Covid-19 Multiplex Rapid Test—was approved in Singapore for self-testing on Feb 14, and costs $9.80 on its online CorDxstore.
The product is also available at Watsons, Unity Pharmacy, National Healthcare Group polyclinics and National University Health System polyclinics, she said.
The CorDx self-test is not the only Covid-19 and influenza A/B combination test kit registered here, but it is the only one approved for self-testing.
According to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), there are 10 such combination test kits registered here. Nine of these are professional use-only kits that should be administered by healthcare professionals, said a spokesperson.
