Chief Security Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the EMCO in Top Glove’s bedroom started on November 17 and lasted 14 days from November 30.
“After 28 days of EMCO in this area, the Ministry of Health found that the positive cases there have decreased and there are no more detection samples waiting for the results.
