The Ministry of Health (MoH) on Monday issued a statement on the changes in the guideline for the use of antigen rapid test (ART) for COVID-19. The changes will be implemented on March 1.

 

Based on the observations and the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the ministry said the use of the ART kit will be reserved for those who experience symptoms of infections.

 

Anyone who tests positive for the virus is advised to report the result in the BruHealth app. A three-day sick leave certificate from the MoH will be issued through the app and the certificate can only be obtained through the app once every six months. Repeated testing are no longer required before the end of the sick leave.
