KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Police have so far identified 55,000 close contacts of Covid-19 patients including from the tabligh cluster, says Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.

He said the data was analysed by a task force from the Criminal Investigation Department before being handed over to the Ministry of Health to urge the contacts to come forward and get screened.

"We also help MOH monitor individuals who disobey the order to stay at home when they head out of the house," he said at a special press conference in Bukit Aman here on Monday .

Why talk talk talk... and no action. Why have to wait until identifying 55,000 and still no action taken but still there talking? By right after identifying 10 or 20 person should have hauled them into hospital for testing. How many people had they spread to until now?

Just shoot anyone who leaves their house. I'll be dead before MCO ends being at home

MCO extension after extension then. If even 10% of them are infected ..how many would they have infected in the past month ? Shocked beyond words.
