KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 6): Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has called on those who want to “balik kampung” (return to their hometown) to do a Covid-19 self-test before making interstate travel. In fact, he said people living in high contact and mobility settings are encouraged to conduct regular Covid-19 testing. “While the Ministry of Health (MoH) has transitioned to symptomatic testing, we encourage people who are in high contact and mobility settings to test [themselves] regularly. “If you want to ‘balik kampung’ to see your elderly parents, do the RTK saliva test. Follow our Covid-19 vaccination tracker to see where we are in the race to herd immunity.
