PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Ministry of Health (MOH) has detected a new Covid-19 cluster at a construction site in Kuala Lumpur after 44 cases were reported.

Without giving further information about the cluster, Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah urged construction companies to pay attention not only to the standard operating procedures at worksites but also to workers’ accommodations.

"It is important to also look at their accommodation and how they live there. For example, in Masjid India, 30 workers were staying together in one small flat,” he said. Asked whether Malaysia is ready to get involved with the vaccine research undertaken by Thailand, Dr Noor Hisham said MOH is prepared to conduct joint research with other countries.

Thailand has begun Covid-19 vaccine testing on monkeys after the testing on mice showed positive results.
