KUALA LUMPUR – The updated MySejahtera app now requires users to upload a photograph of their test results, among others, when revising their health status.
It will also ask for details such as where and when the self-tests were done as well as their outcome.
The update pushed to users last night is categorised under “Covid-19 Self-Report” on the app’s main page, after which users can go to “Update Covid-19 Result”.
In the app’s previous iteration, users only needed to complete a digital form when declaring their self-test results – marked either as positive, negative, or invalid.
The Health Ministry has advised the public to conduct regular self-tests, especially before attending a public gathering or meeting at-risk family and friends.
It has also mandated that patients undergo a seven-day quarantine if asymptomatic and 10 days if symptomatic or not fully vaccinated.
Close contacts who have received their booster jabs are required to undergo a five-day self quarantine, while those who have not or are not fully vaccinated will have to observe seven days in isolation. – The Vibes, February 22, 2022
