MITI: Govt can consider tightening Covid-19 SOPs to prevent outbreaks


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama) -- The government may consider tightening the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to prevent outbreaks at ignition sites, and introducing clear guidance on geospatial planning such as quantifying indoor settings at any given time, said the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI).

"Additionally, we could step up targetted testing as well as regulating the costs of RTK-Antigen test kits to make COVID-19 testing more affordable and on a larger scale, particularly for industries,” it said in a statement today.
