Business owners near market worry over outbreak as traders, public told to get tested

FOLLOWING the revelation that a fishmonger at the Jalan Othman wet market in Petaling Jaya has been confirmed positive for Covid-19, business proprietors operating nearby hope the health authorities will conduct testing for them too.

Food stall owner K. Kumar, who has been running his centralised kitchen near the wet market since the food court next door is closed during the movement control order (MCO), said only the wet market traders were told to undergo the screening.
