Workplace clusters now a major concern


MALAYSIA is currently dealing with a surge in Covid-19 cases. It has been reported that the bulk of these new clusters originate at workplaces. Although many are working from home after the implementation of the second movement control order, which has now been extended to Feb 18, there are still many sectors that are operating as usual.

According to Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, 73 clusters recorded new cases, with the Jalan Puchong construction site recording 322, Jalan Chulan construction site 85, and Tembok Cluster in Taiping with 81 cases.
