BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Foreign workers in the oil and gas industry who are required to enter Brunei Darussalam must carry out their swab test both in their country and upon arriving in Brunei Darussalam, said Minister of Health Dr Mohd Isham Jaafar.

The swab test is part of the improvement required by the Ministry of Energy to assess their health condition before their arrival into the country, Dr Mohd Isham said at the daily press conference on Wednesday (June 17).

“In that way, we are sure after the quarantine and two swabbing tests, there will be no Covid-19. They will need to carry out the test at least 48 hours before they fly in, ” said the minister. - Borneo Bulletin/Asia News Network
