Uptick in Covid-19 cases should be expected over the next few days with more self-testing being done, deputy Health DG

PETALING JAYA: The public should not be alarmed by the rise in daily Covid-19 cases over the next few days as more people are being encouraged to perform self-testing for Covid-19 using rapid test kits, says deputy Health director-general Dr Chong Chee Kheong.

Dr Chong's reassurance came amid the Health Ministry's sanction for more people to make use of self-testing kits, which will uncover more cases in the short term, but will likely taper off soon.
