KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Health (MOH) is advising the secretariat or volunteers of temporary relief centres (PPS) to carry out RTK Ag self-test on every individual and isolate the positive cases as soon as possible.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said district health offices should be informed by contacting the hotline provided so that detection of close contacts could be conducted as soon as possible.

"MOH will continue to monitor Covid-19 transmissions at PPS and will carry out risk assessment from time to time,” he said in a statement here. Dr Noor Hisham said at the same time, MOH had provided a medical team at PPS with basic medical supplies, disinfectants and face masks for flood victims.
