The screening process using the Antigen Rapid Test Kit (RTK-Ag)is conducted by 35 Selcare Clinic health workers and assisted by the Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia’s Response and Relief Team (Imaret).
The screening location is monitored by MPK enforcers, police and the Malaysian Civil Defense Force (Apam) to ensure that residents that came comply with standard operating procedures (SOPs).
