KUALA LUMPUR: All employers or related parties have been urged to accept a copy of the digital certificate for the Home Surveillance Order (HSO) and Release Order (RO) after the patient isolation period ends to avoid congestion at Covid-19 Assessment Centres (CACs).

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, in a statement Friday (Feb 25), said based on data at the Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC), a total of 90% of those attending the CACs were for the purpose of discharge from HSO where there were patients or employers requesting to get a written notice.
