PETALING JAYA: A viral WhatsApp message saying those with Covid-19 who are required to observe home quarantine can claim RM50 a day through a refund link has been debunked as fake by the Ministry of Health (MOH).

In a post on Facebook, MOH explained that content of the text message did not reflect the information in the link provided. Based on the screenshot of the viral WhatsApp message, the link provided will take users to information about a refund procedure process for non-Malaysians who have paid for a Covid-19 test or quarantine cost at a designated quarantine station.
