The Health director-general also argued that the previous assurance that no action would be taken against those who came forward for Covid-19 testing only applied to individuals who heeded the call. Authorities previously appealed to undocumented migrants including refugees and asylum seekers to come forward for testing, after the discovery of the Sri Petaling Covid-19 cluster.
