KOTA KINABALU: People who visited the Malaysian court facilities in Kubota Sentral, Tawau from March 22 to today (April 3) were urged to undergo a Covid-19 screening test at health clinics closer.
The state’s Minister of Housing and Local Government, Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun, said this happened after the detection of the Kubota Sentral Cluster, which so far registered nine positive cases, including two today.
“The index case is a 25-year-old man who is a salesman in the home goods store. The index case was confirmed positive after undergoing symptomatic individual screening on March 29.
“Six people tested positive as a result of a workplace examination, while two more cases were detected by a close contact examination. Contact tracing is ongoing and the cause of the cluster infections is still being investigated, ”he said in a statement here tonight.
