UP to one million Covid-19 self-test kits are being rolled out weekly at a factory in Bayan Lepas, Penang, to meet market needs.

Medical Innovation Ventures Sdn Bhd (Mediven) operations director Dr Lim Li Sze said such high volume production enabled the company to bring costs down to ensure the kits are sold within the ceiling prices stipulated by the Government.
