PETALING JAYA: Long after the Covid-19 threat has been contained, unregistered medical devices such as facemasks, test kits, examination gloves and oximeters continue to be openly sold in the market.
PETALING JAYA: As more people turn to self-testing with the rise in Omicron cases, self-test Covid-19 kits can turn into a medical and environmental risk if these are not properly disposed of after use, say experts. Virologist Dr Chee Hui Yee of Universiti Putra Malaysia’s Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences said there was a risk of exposure to the virus should one come across a used kit that had not been properly binned.
KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 25 Covid-19 self-test kits can now be purchased for as low as RM4.90 at 99 Speedmart outlets, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said today. In a Facebook post, the minister spoke of how efforts had been made to bring down the price.
