CORONAVIRUS | Like many other countries, Malaysia is also running low on reagent needed for Covid-19 tests. However, Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah has assured that more supplies are on the way.
“Right now, the amount of reagent we have can only last one week.
“But we have contacted the supplier and we hope to receive more reagent soon,” Noor Hisham (photo) said at the ministry’s daily press conference in Putrajaya this evening.
The reagent is a key component in the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCT) test kit used in Malaysian labs to test for the virus.
Noor Hisham said Malaysia conducted 9,214 tests today, below the country’s maximum daily testing capability of 11,500 tests.
