Beware fake MOH personnel conducting house checks


PUTRAJAYA: The Health Ministry does not carry out house-to-house swab tests unless the residents are in an enhanced movement control order (MCO) area, warns Senior Minister (Security) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said the public should be wary of those who come knocking on their door, claiming they are there to do such tests, as they may fall prey to scams, either to cheat or to commit crime such as robbery.
