Three foreign workers who fled after Covid-19 testing in Sepang found

SEPANG: Police have found three out of the four foreigners who fled after a Covid-19 screening here.

Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof said the three men, identified as Paisal, 26, Jasman, 27 and Afrizal, 24, were found near a bush in Semenyih at around 10am on Thursday (May 21).

"They were later brought to the Bandar Tun Hussein Onn clinic to be screened again for Covid-19 before being sent to the quarantine centre in Bangi," he said.

ACP Wan Kamarul Azran said police are continuing to search for another foreigner, a 22-year-old woman known as Juliana Sari.

The four went missing on Monday (May 18), after the construction company they were linked to held a screening for Covid-19 at a Kongsi house in Sepang on May 13.

ACP Wan Kamarul Azran said the three men had tested negative for Covid-19 in an earlier test.

"The woman had not been tested, but her husband tested positive for the disease," he said.
