PETALING JAYA: The Labour Department has been told to completely focus on probing working and housing conditions at Top Glove factories to contain the outbreak of the nations’s most active Covid-19 cluster, said Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri M Saravanan.

The National Security Council (NSC) deliberated on the importance of containing the cluster comprising foreign workers at the world’s biggest rubber glove producer and decided that the government departments must go “full force” to stop the spread, he told The Star.
