    she’s not the only Filipino in my life.

    anyway apart from the fact Velodrome is a loose description of its location (right at the far end of the park) walk straight in and test

    Please confirm that there will be no charge for the FDH when they go to the Community testing centre?

    If you had read the link above:

    The opening dates and operating hours of the mobile specimen collection stations in various districts providing free COVID-19 nucleic acid testing services for the general public are stated in Annex 2. Apart from mobile specimen collection stations, persons subject to compulsory testing can also choose to attend any of the community testing centres in all districts to receive testing free of charge
