The problem lies in cheaper and inaccurately test kit is MDA approved

Any way PAS case 1 in million because test kit is not 100% accurate anyways

SHE got ripped off big time when BP only charging rm250

YOU should post entire story here for education awareness

That is the rapid price if normal it is only 180

Also rapid is subject to availability and test load on the particular lab on the day of testing itself

It is detectable but difficult to diagnose the strain

Test kits are for detecting infectivity before it goes spreading around

Actual rapid PCR is only takes 30mins in the lab

The reason why it takes a long is because of logistics and administrative taking up most of the time

Where to get BinaxNow in Malaysia?

For thai price at 230 baht it reasonable compared to others in Thailand

Malaysia is just because the govt set a ceiling price which causes oversupply and then to fix the problem start a panic buy of test kit to fix the price goes higher

Saliva test it is only good when you are already infected and rtk it is good for onset of symptoms before spreading to your body

That’s why PCR it is golden standard because it account above both factors

Malaysians are mostly retarded panic buying test kits because it is already proven not necessary to daily test but weekly it is suffice enough

Ask Hongkie come Malaysia test kit as cheap as USD1 which about HKD8

HK still can travel out no issue

Only when they go back to HK need to h9me quarantine 2 weeks and makes no difference now because they are in lockdown now

Changed already since 22 feb since they declare omicron

3 weeks was for delta and Wuhan strain

If that’s case we would case numbers around dropping’s instead of rising

Only thing self test kit cannot tell it is which type or variant or subvariant which is needed for genomic sequencing

HAve you check how many of those in hospital are long stay

CAC it is meant to be low as they will be assessed for either home quarantine or hospital treatment
