At Luma, we put the health and well-being of our members & communities first.
Therefore, we have created a Guide for COVID-19 to give useful information to expats and locals in Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar.
Reduce Covid-19 spread or risk of infection by getting tested at home or at the workplace.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease which is caused by a new virus. We know so far that it causes respiratory illness like the flu with symptoms such as cough, fever and shortness of breath.
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and COVID-19 are all respiratory illnesses that are caused by the same large family of viruses called coronavirus.
Please note: The Guide for COVID-19 and FAQs does not intend to substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you have further questions regarding medical condition, you are encouraged to seek advice from your physician or qualified health professional.
People infected with COVID-19 experience mild or no symptoms while others experience severe symptoms. Signs of infection include:
Patients with COVID-19 may suffer complications, especially those with congenital heart disease, lung-related diseases, and kidney-related diseases. Those who are over 60 years old, those who have weak immune system, children under 2 years old, and pregnant women are also in the at-risk group.
Apart from working from home and doing self-quarantine, you can also protect yourself and help prevent the spread of the virus to others by following WHO’s basic preventive measures against the COVID-19 as follows:
Here are some indications to determine if you need to get tested for COVID-19.
You may go to the hospital, which you have used in the past; where you have a good level of confidence.
A doctor at this hospital will evaluate your condition and risk of exposure and will suggest whether or not you need to get tested. However, most hospitals will not have the test kits locally but will extract your blood and send it to one of the authorized laboratories to be tested.
Alternatively, you can get tested at home, office or any preferred location. Check our Covid-19 PCR test service and contact us to arrange your test.
