He told reporters that eight of the 19 active clusters in Malaysia are located in the state, and noted that the MOH is still able to control the spread of the disease. “So far, we have things under good control, but if necessary, we will implement EMCO in the areas concerned, namely in the localities or target groups that have been identified,” he said.
The eight active clusters in Sarawak are Sentosa, Stutong, Kuching Engineering, Mambong, Jupiter, Kuching Medical Centre, Kuching Jetty and Melbourne PUI. “We have taken action by sending the MOH team to the field, and we will strengthen and increase contact tracing to detect positive cases,” he added. Dr Noor Hisham said that MOH would continue to conduct contact tracing to find individuals who were exposed to positive cases. Those who are tested positive in the swab test would be hospitalised, while the others would be placed under quarantine. (Source: Bernama)
