Senator calls for Covid-19 self-test kit ceiling price to be further reduced


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The ceiling price of Covid-19 self-test kits should be lowered further as the devices can be categorised as a necessity now, says Senator Datuk Jefridin Atan.

He said the government should provide a subsidy for this as the Covid-19 self-test kit is now part of the essential needs of every household, especially for those who often have outside affairs such as going out to work or personal matters.
