‘Immediately report positive test’


PETALING JAYA: If you use a Covid-19 self-test kit and the result turns up positive, you must immediately report your status to the district health office (PKD) or the Covid-19 Assessment Centre (CAC), says Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

With the Medical Device Authority (MDA) having granted the green light for two self-test kits to be imported and sold in Malaysia, Dr Noor Hisham said the test kit providers would be addressing the mechanism for reporting positive cases.
