SHAH ALAM – A targeted Covid-19 screening exercise on Selangor residents with a history of travelling to Sabah by Selcare Clinic, a state-owned subsidiary, detected four positive cases.
Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari posted on his Twitter account that the positive cases were found through the screening of two individuals from Gombak, and one case each in Subang and Puchong.
"Since the targeted screening was conducted from last Sunday until yesterday, a total of 573 individuals have been screened. Those who were tested positive for Covid-19 had been handed over to the Selangor Health Department for treatment and contact tracking," he said.
Amirudin said the targeted screening would continue for another two days before focusing on Klang.
Last Friday, the Selangor government announced several measures to counter the spread of Covid-19, including a free targeted screening programme for its citizens who have a history of travelling to Sabah from September 20 to September 26. – Bernama, October 9, 2020
