Vending machines on the COVID-19 frontline
With the world still reeling from the global COVID-19 pandemic innovative thinking is taking place around the world.

From Sep 18, individuals in Singapore who received the SMS can scan their IDs to collect a pack of three ART self-test kits at a vending machine and use them for the required tests, said MOH.
