SHAH ALAM, Oct 1 — The Selangor government will announce several proactive measures to curb the community infection of Covid-19, following the surge in new cases recorded in the state.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said the steps would ensure that the matter is dealt with immediately.
“The state government is continuously monitoring the current Covid-19 situation in Selangor.
“Following the consistent increase in cases, I have called for a meeting with the Selangor Task Force for Covid-19 (STFC) as well as the State Security Council Committee to discuss the next course of action,” he said on a Facebook post yesterday.
In the past four days, Selangor had recorded double-digits in daily Covid-19 cases.
