How do I know if I should take the test?
According to Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health (MoH), symptoms of the infection are as follows:
- Fever
- Shortness of breath
- Cough
- Headache
- Sore throat
Those who exhibit the above symptoms should immediately call the 937 Service Center or head to the nearest hospital.
A test may also be warranted if you've been in contact with a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 case, or have a travel history within the last 14 days.
Additionally, you're classified as vulnerable should you are over 65 years of age, pregnant, or have other illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other medical conditions.
What will happen if I test positive?
First and foremost, please remain calm and do not panic. His Majesty King Salman has issued a royal order declaring that all citizens and residents of the Kingdom shall receive coronavirus-related treatment and medical care free of charge.
