Pharmacy obtained RM60 Covid-19 test kits from unapproved company, says KPDNHEP


PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Investigations following complaints from users of the Covid-19 self-test kits sold at RM60 per unit at a pharmacy in Terengganu found that they were obtained from a company in Pahang which was not among the six approved to distribute and sell the test kits to the public.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) said in a statement today an inspection at a pharmacy in Terengganu found that it had been tagged accordingly to allow consumers to make purchasing decisions based on the price displayed because the kits had yet to be listed as a controlled item.
