: The country’s first drive-through test for Covid-19 will be made available at the Pantai Hospital here in Bayan Baru.
Those interested need to call the hospital’s care line at 012-5771889 where they also need to answer a series of queries about their health condition before they can be subjected to the test which comes in the form of a nose swab. In another development, state executive councillor Jagdeep Singh Deo, who is in charge of local government matters here, said Penang will fully cooperate with the federal directive to enforce a restrictive movement measure as part of efforts to bring down the rate of infections, which has surpassed 600 cases.
Those in public areas were also asked to observe safe social distancing of about one metre while also wearing surgical masks and to constantly use hand sanitisers to reduce the spread of the virus.
