Johary who is also the disaster committee chairman explained that another reason for doing so is because out of 200 foreign workers who were screened and tested prior to the lockdown, about 70 per cent of them tested positive for Covid-19. “So we hope that through the screening exercises and tests done we will be able to detect positive cases and prevent any elderly people from catching the virus,” he added.“Yesterday we conducted screening on 509 people and the results will be known later,” he said.

Ismail Sabri said the government made the decision to impose the EMCO following the advice of the Health Ministry after 26 positive Covid-19 cases were detected in the area to date. When asked whether those who have medical appointments are allowed to leave the lockdown area, Dr Rama said yes but they will have to notify the operation room stationed in the lockdown area.

The first zone comprises Jalan Penchala, Jalan 4/33, Jalan 4/37, Jalan 4/39, Jalan 4/41, Jalan 4/44, Jalan Terus 4/42, Jalan 4/43, Jalan 4/46 and Jalan Othman 4/4D.
