Kg Bintang folk to be monitored for two more weeks after deadly infection


PUTRAJAYA: The health of Kampung Bintang residents will be further monitored for another two weeks following the Middle East Respirato­ry Syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV)-related death involving a man from Batu Pahat, Johor.

The move was a precautionary measure to ensure the disease did not spread among the villagers even though the incubation period of two weeks had passed, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subra­maniam.
