PETALING JAYA: Covid-19 testing rates have decreased by half since nearly a month ago, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Opposition leader questioned the low number of tests that are being conducted by the authorities.
“Testing has decreased by 52% since May 29 and, not surprisingly, daily cases have decreased by 48% during the same time period. “In other words, we now have more than double the cases but are conducting roughly the same amount of testing that we observed in April, ” said the PKR president in a statement on Tuesday .
“By WHO’s recommendation, Malaysia should be doing at least 138, 000 tests and as many as 300, 000 tests per day.
