KUALA LUMPUR – The Ikea outlet in Mutiara Damansara is closed from today onwards due to the detection of several Covid-19 cases.

In a statement posted to its website, the management said the confirmed Covid-19 cases involve the outlet’s co-workers and service partners after a routine test.

However, it did not reveal how many cases in total.

“We were advised by the Health Ministry this morning to close our store until further notice to undergo full contact tracing and sanitisation in accordance to the ministry’s standards.

“We are working closely with the authorities and will act on their advice. We have and will continue to carry out all necessary safety measures, including the replacement of service partners’ workers, contact tracing, swab tests, quarantine for all close contacts, and sanitisation.”

The statement also said that customers considered close contacts will be contacted by the Health Ministry.

“The health, safety, and overall well-being of our customers, co-workers, partners and community are our top priorities. We will continue to work closely with public health officials and do our part by implementing all necessary preventative measures across our stores,” it said. – The Vibes, January 2, 2021
