PETALING JAYA: The rising trend in Covid-19 cases on Saturday (Oct 3) with 317 cases nationwide has prompted the Health Ministry to take active and aggressive action like testing in the field to curb the spread of the virus.

Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said one the actions taken was close contact tracing or active case detection.

"Targeted screenings for those who visited Sabah at all domestic and international entry points, screenings of high-risk groups where tests were conducted on senior citizens, screenings on immigration detainees and screenings on health workers as well as activity surveillance through monitoring influenza-like illness cases and severe acute respiratory illness were also actions taken," he said.
