CTF to include asymptomatic patients

In view of the spike in the COVID- 19 cases in Malaysia, the insurance and takaful industry has broadened the eligibility criteria of the COVID-19 Test Fund (CTF) to include all asymptomatic individual or group medical and health insurance, takaful policy and certificate (MHIT) holders in the country.

Asymptomatic patients refer to individuals who may have been infected by the virus but do not have any symptoms of cough, sore throat, flu etc.

All individual or group MHIT policy and certificate holders who are asymptomatic are now eligible to claim from the CTF for the COVID-19 test performed at any authorised labs or medical facility registered with the Ministry of Health Malaysia.
