Covid-19: NGOs wanting to help in Sabah should coordinate with Health Ministry, says DG

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said NGO volunteers need to be trained first.“We are also worried because for instance, some of the volunteers put on the personal protective equipment , but did not put on their gloves.

Dr Noor Hisham added that the biggest challenge in Sabah is logistical and transport issues, especially as it takes a few days before the RT-PCR test results can be confirmed and returned. “So we have decided to use the RTK-Antigen test, because the turnaround time is faster, ” he said, adding that they have sent 200,000 RTK-antigen test kits to the state to help with it.
