Can I go for health screening if I have recently recovered from COVID-19?
You do not have to delay your health screening because of a recent infection.
Blood tests: Some inflammatory markers may be elevated after an infection and the results can be read in the context of a recent infection. Complications from a COVID-19 infection may also be detected and should be followed up. High sensitivity CRP for cardiac risk stratification would not be suitable for those who have had COVID-19 in the last 1 month.
Chest X-ray: May show infective changes when done after a recent COVID-19 infection and abnormalities should be followed up.
Pap Smear: Not necessary to wait
Mammogram / Breast Ultrasound : Not necessary to wait
