Its president Dr N Ganabaskaran said more emphasis should be given to safe physical distancing, the wearing of face masks and personal hygiene among the workforce, with testing focused on foreign workers in line with Ministry of Health’s targeted approach to testing. “A person may receive a negative test result and still be exposed to infections the very same day after testing if preventive measures such as physical distancing and personal hygiene are not observed. With the increase in the number of Covid-19 infections among foreign workers , it is necessary to test this group with data entered into a registry,” he said in a statement today.
