(SPOT.ph) Getting tested for COVID-19 has now become as normal as buying groceries or attending mass on Sundays—both still online, of course, as the virus still looms. Negative test results are needed when traveling, crossing city borders, coming back to work, or even just for keeping a peace of mind. But heading to hospitals and clinics in the current situation can be risky and expose you to the virus more than necessary.
