SHAH ALAM – A viral video showing Selangorians queuing up to enter the Covid-19 Assessment Centre (CAC) at Malawati Stadium here, purportedly to house the patients, is untrue.
Petaling Health Office public health physician, Dr Faridah Amin, today clarified that the individual who uploaded the 60-second video was misinformed for claiming that the stadium was taking in Covid-19 patients.
“The Malawati Stadium is only used as a CAC and no cases will be housed at the centre.
“Covid-19-positive patients will be assessed, and depending on the individual’s condition, followed either by home quarantine, admission to the Covid-19 Quarantine and Low-Risk Treatment Centre (PKRC) at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park (MAEPS) in Serdang, or hospital admission,” she told Bernama today.
The Malawati Stadium has been operating as a CAC for the Petaling district since February 8, with the capacity to assess between 1,000 and 1,200 patients daily.
Apart from Malawati Stadium, there are also CACs operating in eight other districts, namely, in Klang, Kuala Selangor, Sabak Bernam, Gombak, Hulu Selangor, Hulu Langat, Sepang and Kuala Langat. – Bernama, May 15, 2021
