“As of 13 March, some 756 samples were tested, and three were positive for Covid-19.”

Looking at the number of people (16,000 people) who attended the aforementioned tabligh gathering, there are still a whole lot of people waiting to be tested. The Ministry of Health is also pressing on this issue, urging the attendees to get tested immediately.

In a statement released by the ministry yesterday, the people with any respiratory symptoms are not encouraged to attend mass gatherings or places with crowds, including religious sites and gatherings. Not only that we should avoid activities that involved huge crowds, but we are also advised to constantly take care of our hygiene by washing our hands with soap and water, or using hand sanitisers.

Anyone who is experiencing symptoms like fever, cough or breathing difficulties should get immediate medical attention.

Stay tuned for more updates.
