The failure to report a positive antigen rapid test (ART) result on the BruHealth app is an offence and the government can take action under the Infectious Diseases Act. The same applies to individuals posting false results.

This was said by Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office and Minister of Finance and Economy II Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Haji Mohd Amin Liew bin Abdullah at a press conference yesterday.

The minister appealed to the public to report themselves if they test positive to curb the spread of COVID-19.

Dato Seri Setia Dr Awang Haji Mohd Amin Liew also discouraged discrimination against those who have recovered from COVID-19. He said, “It is important to follow the advice from the Ministry of Health. If a person recovers from COVID-19, they no longer have symptoms and cannot infect others. We do not have to be afraid if we are vaccinated, especially with the
booster shot.”
