Failing to update health status on MySejahtera could land you a fine

 

Those working in the manufacturing sector but who fail to update their health status on the MySejahtera app could land with a fine.

This was in addition to having to use the MySejahtera app to check in at their location of work.

Harian Metro reported that a total of 31 workers were fined between RM1,500 and RM2,000 each for failing to update their health status.

Manjung district police chief Nor Omar Sappi was quoted as saying that they comprised 29 workers at an oil and gas firm and two from a chicken factory.

The fine prompted members of the public to pose multiple queries to the Manjung police's Facebook page if they are liable to a fine for not updating their health status.

Responding to the queries, the Manjung police said the rule applied to those working in the manufacturing sector. 

"This standard operating procedure (SOP) refers to the manufacturing sector and not the general SOP," it said.

You can update your health status by choosing the "Covid-19 Status" button in the MySejahtera app.

The user will be asked if they are experiencing any Covid-19-like symptoms, whether they have gone abroad and whether they have been exposed to anyone who is suspected of being infected with Covid-19. - Mkini
