PUTRAJAYA never approved house-to-house health screening to contain the Covid-19 outbreak, said Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Senior Minister said door-to-door checks were done only at enhanced movement control order (EMCO) areas.

“The government or the Health Ministry never approved house-to-house swab testing. Swab testing is only done at EMCO areas, ” Ismail Sabri said.

He said certain individuals have been going door-to-door to perform swab test.

“It is viral on Facebook and I urged the public to lodge a police report of they face a situation like this where people come to do swab test dressing like health officers.”

“We do not want bad incident such as robbery to happen,” he said. – June 15, 2020.
