Group wants govt to share cost of testing for foreign workers


IPOH: The Perak Coffeeshop Association is requesting for the government to share at least half the cost of Covid-19 testing for foreign workers.

Association chairman Ooi Beng Yeaw said with businesses having dropped between 50% and 70% since the movement control order (MCO) was enforced in March, most coffeeshops are finding it hard to pay for the tests.
