KUALA LUMPUR: My E.G. Services Bhd (MYEG) has received approval from the Health Ministry for the deployment of Breathonix’s BreFence Go Covid-19 breath test system.

       In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the group said it had received a letter from the ministry dated Dec 8, 2021 to allow the deployment of BreFence Go as an alternative Covid-19 screening method at the country’s entry points including international airports.

       BreFence Go will be used for mass screening, from which any positive Covid-19 results detected will be required subsequently to undergo a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test as further validation.
