PETALING JAYA
: A shift in corporate culture and policy may be necessary to address the issue of work-from-home (WFH) fatigue.
Both employers and employees agree that rather than a complete shift back to the office, a hybrid of both may become the norm post Covid-19. At the same time, both sides also say that there are sacrifices to be made before the benefits can be experienced.
The Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC) said employers will have to be more tolerant and flexible while the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) said compromise is essential to ensure success of a hybrid arrangement.
Self-testing for Covid-19

Key Highlights
To date, three antigen rapid test kits have been approved:
1) Salixium (91.4% sensitivity; 100% specificity) - Saliva and nasal swab (Malaysia)
2) Gmate (90.9% sensitivity; 100% specificity) - Saliva (South Korea)
3) Beright (90.1% sensitivity; 99.3% specificity) - Saliva (China)
How to make sense of the performance metrics? Sensitivity means the rate at which the kit will correctly identify a positive result while specificity means the rate at which it will correctly detect negative results.
91.4 percent sensitivity means out of 100 tests, 8.6 of them could be false negatives. 100 percent specificity means there won t be any false positives.
Errors can be minimised by taking more than one test. You should note that these test kits are not authoritative tools to confirm if you have Covid-19.
