SHAH ALAM – The Selangor government is considering a proposal for Covid-19 screening tests to be conducted from house to house, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

However, he said this would also depend on sufficient manpower, including volunteers.

“To do the screening test from house to house will require a huge team,” he said after launching the Selangor Prihatin Humanitarian Fund for Palestinians here today.

On the fund, he said it was one of the state government’s efforts to express its solidarity with the Palestinian people.

It aims to collect RM1 million and the collection will be used to buy medical equipment and ambulances, he said, adding that RM223,957.77 was raised for the fund today. – Bernama, May 24, 2021
