KUALA LUMPUR: The Works Ministry has set aside RM7mil under the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) to subsidise Covid-19 screening costs for foreign workers. Senior Minister (Works) Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said under the programme, each foreign worker registered with CIDB will be entitled to a RM50 subsidy to undergo the RTK-Antigen test. "The tests will be managed by CIDB's subsidiary, CIDB Holdings Sdn Bhd, and will be conducted at selected panel clinics. "The purpose of this subsidy is to encourage employers to get their foreign workers tested and also to encourage those yet to be registered under CIDB to do so," he said Monday (March 1).
