Only a valid ID is required to proceed with the testing. The actual testing will take two minutes and it is on first come, first served basis. The site uses Serology COVID-19 testing that has a higher specificity and sensitivity than the rapid test.
The walk-in testing at the Hospital of Sampaloc with 150 testing capacity per day was initially launched. The upcoming drive-thru and walk-in testing site at the Justice Jose Abad Santos General hospital in Binondo is expected to open soon.
