SHAH ALAM – The Section 6 Modern Market here has been ordered to close for four days starting today after Covid-19 cases were detected among its traders.

Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) Corporate and Public Relations Division head Shahrin Ahmad said this is to contain Covid-19 transmissions at the market and make way for a contact-tracing exercise.

“Traders, renters and workers at the market are advised to undergo Covid-19 screening as soon as possible and submit their results to MBSA before they can be allowed to resume operations,” he said.

He said MBSA suggested that they conduct the screening at the state’s free Covid-19 screening programme, currently being held at various locations, or any private clinic or medical centre that provides the service.

A check at the market found that its main entrance was closed and its parking area empty following the closure. – Bernama, May 28, 2021
