THE high number of Covid-19 cases in Taman Hock Ann along Jalan Kelang Lama, Kuala Lumpur which is under enhanced movement control order until Aug 7, has led to the temporary closure of a market nearby.

Jalan Kelang Lama Market Hawkers Association chairman Koh Yoke Kuk said the closure of Pasar Batu 4 ½ was a precautionary measure due to the high number of cases at Taman Hock Ann, located about 500m away.
