MY E.G. Services Bhd (MYEG) will offer a convenient one-stop portal for employers to manage requirements related to Covid-19 screening for their workforce.
In a statement today, MYEG said the portal provides an option for companies that wish to streamline the process of getting their workers tested for the virus, providing employers with the necessary tools to register and receive confirmation of their workers’ eligibility for the Prihatin Screening Programme.
“At the same time, through a partnership with a panel of the Social Security Organisation (Socso)-registered clinics, MYEG will also arrange for screening to be conducted on-site at employers’ premises by trained medical practitioners adhering fully to the Ministry of Health’s guidelines.
“For workers not covered by the Prihatin Screening Programme, the cost of testing can be paid out-of-pocket,” it said.
At present, employees who are registered Socso contributors, including foreign workers, may get their Covid-19 testing cost covered by Socso’s Prihatin Screening Programme.
Upon completion of the screening in accordance with the specified guidelines, individuals will be issued with a digital certificate by MYEG in the form of a dynamic QR colour code on a mobile application indicating their test status for verification purposes.
“The digital certificate will be recognised by the Department of Labour as proof of testing. Employers with workers who have already undergone screening are encouraged to voluntarily declare their status on MYEG’s portal.
“The self-declaration is important to enable MYEG to better assist the Ministry of Human Resources in updating the testing status of workers in the country,” it added. — May 12, 2020, Bernama
