“We will continue to work closely with local authorities and Cue to further the effort in controlling Covid-19 in Singapore.”

Cue Health is a healthcare technology company headquartered in San Diego, California, US.

Last month, the company introduced its direct-to-consumer (DTC) virtual health platform in the US. The move made its molecular Covid-19 test available through the company’s new eCommerce site and in-app shop.

Commenting on the approval in Singapore, Cue co-founder and CEO Ayub Khattak said: “We are excited to bring Cue’s digitally connected, in-home molecular diagnostics platform to Singaporean stakeholders and help provide immediate access to critical health information.

“With Cue, users will be able to make faster and more informed healthcare decisions at a time when it’s needed most.”

In February, Cue received CE mark for its molecular point-of-care Covid-19 test in the European Union (EU).
