Blood donors get free Covid-19 self-test kit


Coming forward: Blood donors helping to replenish supplies during the drive at Ng Yam Huat Hall in Bukit Mertajam.

BUTTERWORTH: In a move akin to killing two birds with one stone, a blood donation drive here has helped replenish blood supplies while enabling more extensive detection of Covid-19 at the same time.

Every blood donor at the Butterworth Buddhist Association in Mak Mandin was given a Covid-19 self-test kit for free.
