Covid-19: Melaka closes Pulau Besar


MELAKA (Bernama): Pulau Besar has been temporarily closed for any activities and public visits since Wednesday (Oct 28) until a date to be announced later to curb the spread of Covid-19, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali.

He said the move, which was in line with the decision made at the state security meeting to not allow any large-scale gathering of more than 50 people at one time, was taken following the sudden surge in Covid-19 cases in the country, and also as a measure to prevent the emergence of new clusters.
