The Parliamentary staff will be swabbed after their 4 days isolation ends today.

The Parliamentary Secretariat has confirmed that they will have to get clearance from the Health Ministry in order for parliament to resume.

He says all Parliamentary business will resume upon advice and clearance from the Ministry of Health.
