SINGAPORE – From April 1, a Covid-19 patient admitted to a C-class ward is likely to pay $700 after subsidies and tapping MediShield Life, as pandemic subsidies are further scaled back with the coronavirus treated as an endemic disease.
The same financial schemes apply for those in intensive care, which is rarer for those infected with Covid-19 now, she added. “It is noteworthy that after three years of the pandemic, the vast majority of Covid-19 patients experience mild symptoms and are not expected to require a hospital admission,” she noted.
For patients who visit polyclinics with symptoms, they will be charged about $20 to $35 after subsidies, similar to other acute respiratory diseases, said Ms Rahayu.
