Govt urged to set screening fee


Mass testing: Medical personnel collecting samples for Covid-19 testing from flat residents in Subang Jaya in October.

PETALING JAYA: With the Covid-19 screening being mandatory for all foreign workers, employers are urging the government to control the service fee imposed by clinics and hospitals for tests.

Real Estate and Housing Developers’ Association Malaysia president Datuk Soam Heng Choon said several months ago, prices of the RTK and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests were cheaper when screening was not mandatory.
