A hassle-free drive-through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is now open at the SM City in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. A negative Covid-19 test result is a requirement whether one is exposed to someone who turned out to be positive, for work, travel and even in hospitals. Some residents are hesitant to visit testing centers, thinking of getting infected onsite or along the way. Mary Joy Ballego, public relation officer of SM-SJDM said individuals can now get tested while inside their cars and get faster results as the Drive to Swab by Be Safe MD Medical Clinic is now con-ducting antigen and RT-PCR tests to all motorists and mall goers with no appointment needed. The testing booth is located at the parking area of SM-SJDM, which is open every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. An antigen nasal swab test is priced at P950 with the result and certificate released and signed by a li-censed physician while an RT-PCR costs P3,350, with the result to be released in 24 hours from accredited laboratories.
