State government says only a limited supply of reagents is available for swab tests to be carried out. FMTNews Sabah Covid19
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has expressed doubts whether it has enough reagents to carry out swab tests on the estimated 100,000 foreign workers in the state.
Senior federal minister for security Ismail Sabri Yaakob said in his daily briefing that employers have to bear the cost of the tests. “In any case, government hospitals will not allow anyone just to come in for such a test since one must fulfil the requirements, such as having close contact with Covid-19 patients and showing symptoms.Poon said employers could opt to do the swabs in private hospitals but only three private hospitals were providing such tests.
