A blind mass screening is wasteful! The best method is applying AI screen where infected patients pass movement could be traced through their smartphone hence sending out alert to bystanders who came near them during those crucial 2 weeks! This way, disinfection can be focused and bystanders can be screen effectively!

AI screening? suddenly privacy is not issue anymore?

Agreed with Datuk Sri mass screening is waste of valuable/limited resources because a negative test result today did not prevent you from infected by others tomorrow. The best is assume we are all infected and wear mask, social distancing and washing hands to prevent us from spreading the virus to others.

an antibody test is coming soon.......

Thailand already has one.......


an antibody test can confirm u already have immunity...and u are then free to do what u want.............and will not be a danger to others.



In Europe , between 1 - 11% of the people have already been infected and when tested negative on the antigen test but positive on the antibody test...........these are the supermen to the rescue.............

Free subsidy test screening follow by medicine drug Remdesivir must be easily accessible at all phamacies besides publc hospital. Let private sector also help to cure fast, if any. test is pre-emptive fast to identify at early stage as many not even know when infected and may be too late by the time showing synthoms

Govt should introduce free mass testing post-MCO — Lim Kit Siang

post-MCO, when ppl in the high risks areas in known clusters are tested,identify,isolated & treated, it is timely to move mass testing of the population, pending the availability of new vaccines to deal with covid19.

Mass testing is the only way to identify the silent asymptomatic carriers who can spread the covid19 virus to ppl, n eradicate the menace from our population.

Tested positive must be isolated for treatment. i guess human being phobia of social isolation causing many avoid go for test even if its free
