He said that the software would allow the authorities to take fast action against the spread of the infection at the hotspots area. “For example, we know Simpang Renggang in Johor has spikes of cases and also in Sungai Lui. With this software we can take fast action in these areas,” he added, referring to areas now under extended movement control order.
“Tomorrow, we will know the result of the test. If the result shows high accuracy on the tracing of Covid-19, then we will order about 200,000 units of the test kits from Korea,” he said.
