PM Lee has announced that DIY Covid-19 test kits will soon be sold at pharmacies in Singapore. Routine and regular testing will now be the new normal. Thoughts?

I think this self testing kit is for people who really concerned about getting infected especially the frontline workers,taxi drivers those. But it may not be accurate or accurate enough so take it carefully.

Well depends on how you look at it. I doubt people will actively go and buy the testing kits and use it. Besides, he referred to it "like" the pregnancy kit test. So...

Easy to use? Yes.

Would you buy out of the blue? No~

Would you buy it if you need to confirm something because the TT app says you are exposed? Yes. Play safe mah. Or like some people say, quickly go see doc and test.

Otherwise, it will just sit in the store.

Having said that! I guess there are some companies in the factory or manufacturing industries that will buy it in bulk. They rather spend the money, make sure every worker get tested and ensure the factory runs smoothly. Can you imagine the losses if the factory has to be closed? Even for a day? 14 days even worse right?
