In a press conference at MOH’s headquarters here, Dr Noor Hisham said that the manufacturer of the test kit had given the assurance on the accuracy prospect. “They promised us that this has more than 80 per cent accuracy. So if it’s 80 per cent accuracy, we can use it, but if it’s 50 per cent accuracy, it’s very difficult for us to use because there will be false positive and false negative. You think you don’t have it, then you have the virus. You think you may have the virus, but you don’t have the virus,” he said.
