GEORGE TOWN, July 5 Once Covid-19 self-test kits are available in the market, the government may make it compulsory for everyone to conduct self-testing at home, said Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
He suggested that the government will make it compulsory for people to buy these self-test kits and perform them at home.
“Once these self-test kits are available in the market, everyone can do it at home and know their results fast so that if they are positive, they can immediately go to the hospital for treatment,” he said during a press conference after visiting the Penang Covid-19 Mass Screening (PSC19) programme at the city stadium here.
