JOHOR BARU – Sixty-seven people, comprising workers and occupants of the Baitus Solehah shelter for single mothers in Skudai here, have tested positive for Covid-19.
The home’s manager, Muna Liza Ismail, some among them are 22 babies aged between 10 days and a year old, and 37 residents aged between 15 and 32.
