GEORGE TOWN: A number of companies that employ foreign workers feel the government should not implement a blanket Covid-19 screening of such workers but are nonetheless ready to get it done.

An established nasi kandar restaurant chain with 28 outlets, which employs 700 foreign workers, said it is preparing to screen all its workers soon.
