KUALA TERENGGANU – A total of 4,308 individuals from Covid-19 red zones who visited Terengganu have undergone risk assessment at clinics and hospitals in the state since the lifting of the restriction on interstate and interdistrict travel on December 7.
Terengganu Health Department Director Dr Nor Azimi Yunus said all the individuals came in voluntarily.
"As a result of the screening, 21 individuals were confirmed positive for Covid-19 and six of their 433 close contacts were also found to be positive.
“The total number of positive cases is 27. All of them have been hospitalised while all close contacts have been quarantined either at home or at a quarantine centre provided by the department," she said in a post on her Facebook page.
She said the people should be praised for helping prevent infection in the community.
"Imagine if the 27 positive cases were not detected early. Of course, they would have spread it to family or coworkers,” she said. – Bernama, December 29, 2020
