Multiple aids introduced will be able to equip every Malaysian affected by the lockdown, including:

• Private hospitals will now help to cater to covid patients, alongside public hospitals. 

• Registered foreign workers will be provided with free covid screening tests under PERKESO.

• Tax relief for covid screening tests
