SHAH ALAM, Feb 6 — The Selangor government does not plan to suspend any large scale public programmes and events in the state as the 2019 novel coronavirus infection in Malaysia is still under control, says the Menteri Besar.
Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said there is no urgent need for the cancellation, but had stressed that the state government would continuously monitor the updates on the outbreak.
“We have not reached a stage where we need to cancel public mass events. Based on the current situation, everything is still under control.
“There was even a patient who had fully recovered from the virus. This is a good development,” he told a press conference after chairing the Selangor Economic Action Council meeting at his office today.
Yesterday, the Johor government had suspended all of its large-scale events for the month as a precautionary measure towards the current coronavirus outbreak.
Malaysia and Singapore have several cases of infections but no deaths reported.
