KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 22: Since the third wave of COVID-19 hit Malaysia in October last year, more and more people are willing to get tested even though they are asymptomatic or a close contact.
Is Malaysia’s testing capacity currently enough to cater to the increasing demand, with the four-digit cases recorded over the months, and in case of a worst-case scenario?
Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) president Prof Datuk Dr Subramaniam Muniandy said the national laboratory capacity for both public and private laboratories is currently at 70,000 tests per day.
