KUALA LUMPUR, June 7 (NNN-BERNAMA) — MY E.G. Services Bhd (MyEG) today unveiled its one-stop portal for COVID-19 screening, a service aimed at helping the government to monitor and accelerate the testing of workers in Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MyEG in a statement today said the initiative, supported by the Human Resources Ministry (HRM), serves as an alternative channel for employers in the country to register and schedule COVID-19 screening for their workforce in conjunction with the Social Security Organisation\u2019s (Socso) Prihatin Screening Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This one-stop portal will facilitate the screening of workers and breaking the chain of COVID-19 transmission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“In line with an announcement recently made by Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan, employers are eligible under the programme to receive a subsidy of RM150 for each screening carried out on workers who are SOCSO contributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor workers who are not SOCSO contributors and not eligible for subsidy, screening can also be set-up through MYEG\u2019s one-stop portal at a cost of RM150 per test,” it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MyEG also said it would arrange for screening to be conducted on-site at employers\u2019 premises by trained medical practitioners adhering fully to Health Ministry guidelines, through a partnership with a panel of approved clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Upon completion of the screening, workers will be issued a QR code-based digital certificate on a mobile application by MyEG which will serve as proof of testing recognised by the HRM,” it said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Relevant data from the one-stop portal on the screening of workers will be provided to the HRM to enable its monitoring and enforcement activities to be carried out more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Employers whose workforce have already undergone testing are encouraged to voluntarily declare their status on the portal, ” it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Employers can visit MYEG\u2019s website http:\/\/www.myeg.com.my to register or for further information on the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
