Fully subsidised COVID-19 swab tests for employees available via MYEG portal

KUALA LUMPUR: MY E.G. Services Bhd’s one-stop COVID-19 portal provides a convenient channel for employers in areas under Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) to arrange for the subsidised screening of their workers.

MYEG’s one-stop COVID-19 portal, launched in May, is a convenient alternative channel for companies that wish to streamline the process of registering and arranging for the testing of their workers – both Malaysians and non-Malaysians - for the COVID-19 virus.

"Through the portal, employers can verify the eligibility of their workforce for Social Security Organisation (Socso) coverage and proceed to arrange for eligible employees to be tested without any upfront payment required as MYEG will liaise directly with Socso on the subsidies for the screening costs.

"The costs of the tests for such employees who are contributors to the Socso will be borne by Socso," it said in a statement.

It was announced that only those in the public sector and industries under the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) are required to work-from-home from Oct 22.
