卫生部昨晚(9日)宣布,若持有短期居留证的外国人到我国来寻求武汉冠状病毒(Covid-19)的治疗,将要付费。

当局指出,有关措施自3月7日开始实施,主要是因为全球和本地疫情越发严峻,因此必须优先分配公共医院的资源。

虽说持有短期探访证(short-term visit pass),到我国来寻求冠毒治疗的外籍人士,必须支付医疗费,但是我国仍然为他们提供免费的病毒检测。

卫生部认为,提供免费检测,能够及时确认患者,并追踪和识别患者之前曾经接触过的人。

此外,因冠毒而入住公共医院的新加坡居民及长期探访证(long-term visit pass)持有者,政府将继续为他们支付全额检测费和医药费。
