MOH investigating new COVID-19 cluster possibly due to Hari Raya visits

The new Covid-19 cluster at a Cheras apartment block could be due to visits during the recent Hari Raya celebration.

The Health Director-General says that while the source of the infection is still being investigated, there is a high probability it had to do with these visits.

There are a total of six positive cases from the cluster so far, all of whom are family members and friends of the first detected case.

Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah also reminded Malaysians that even though Raya celebrations typically stretch out for a month, this is not allowed under the CMCO.
