MOH running digital wristband pilot programme to make sure people under home quarantine don't go out, says KJ


SEPANG: The Health Ministry (MOH) is running a pilot programme to ensure those undergoing home quarantine complied with the Home Surveillance Order, by making them wear a digital detector surveillance wristband.

"It’s a pilot project going on where we issue a bracelet where they have to wear during the duration of the quarantine. Once this project has been piloted through the number of people we are targeting, we will see whether it is feasible or not,” said Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin (pic) to Bernama.
