It also stated that the COVID-19 test was being carried out in collaboration with Lifebank organisation for 30 officers to be nominated by each of the MDAs.

According to the circular, the test is to sensitise officers and facilitate individuals to know their respective status per time.

“This ensures the health of the workplace as a whole and will further limit the spread of the virus,” the ministry stated.

It further directed the MDAs to send the full names, addresses and phone numbers of 30 nominees to the ministry’s data bank building for the free test.
