‘Test genome for new subvariants’

PETALING JAYA: Conduct genome testing for new subvariants and ask incoming travellers to provide PCR test results, say medical experts.

Prof Dr Moy Foong Ming, from Universiti Malaya’s Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, applauds the government’s move to tighten border screening requirements, saying the government should consider requiring travellers to provide negative PCR tests conducted at least two days prior to departure and prove that they are fully vaccinated.
