Swab tests for foreign workers to start in KL, Selangor


PUTRAJAYA: The compulsory swab test for foreign workers will start with those employed in the construction sector in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor in a bid to prevent new clusters from emerging among them, says Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Social Security Organisation (Socso) will bear the cost for Covid-19 screening for foreign workers who contribute to the organisation.
