SHAH ALAM, April 17 — The results from the 200 samples taken from the Covid-19 community screening in Section 6, here, have turn out negative.

Selangor Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari had revealed the matter in a Twitter response last night.

“All came out negative, the 200 samples that were taken from the community testing in Section 6, Shah Alam,” he said.

Amirudin had previously denied the messages circulated on social media that claimed the area was being placed under lockdown.

Instead, the Petaling Health District and the Selangor State Health Department had on April 12 carried out a home-to-home visit to screen the residents, especially those in the high-risk group.

The free mass screening operation is focused in the red zones in the state.
