As the country faces a surge of COVID-19 cases, it is important to get tested to keep you and the people around you safe. To help you stay protected amid the pandemic, SM Supermalls in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), has opened more drive-thru collection sites to provide accessible, faster and non-invasive COVID-19 test.

"Aside from providing essentials during these times, SM aims to help keep shoppers safe and healthy. With the alarming increase of COVID-19 cases, we wanted to provide a convenient and easily accessible way for the community to get tested," said SM Supermalls president Steven Tan.

You can have your saliva RT-PCR test by heading over to the drive-thru collection sites in SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamalls, SM City Fairview, SM City Novaliches, SM Southmall, SM City Sucat, SM City Marikina, SM City Trece Martires, SM City Bacolod, and SM City Cebu.

The said locations will only serve as specimen collection sites for the saliva RT-PCR test and these samples will be forwarded to the Red Cross laboratories for testing. Those who will undergo testing should not eat, drink or smoke for 30 minutes before the scheduled appointment.
