PETALING JAYA: A private hospital in Kedah will be closed for two days after a pregnant woman – who did not disclose that she lives with a Covid-19 positive family member – also tested positive for the disease after delivering her baby at the facility.

Pantai Hospital Laguna Merbok said that it was closing from March 22 and 23 to facilitate a full terminal disinfection and fumigation, following its first confirmed Covid-19 case.
