PETALING JAYA: Covid-19 appears to be spreading at a rapid pace in Selangor and there are cases that do not seem to be linked to any clusters.
Selangor Task Force for Covid-19 chairman Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said the number of positive cases detected in yesterday’s screening was indicative of the widespread transmission of the virus.
“The results are telling us that there are sporadic cases that do not appear to be linked to any clusters, ” he said.
“We have to now investigate the link to these cases.”
The screening initiated by the Selangor state government was carried out by Selcare, the administrator of the state’s healthcare programme, Skim Peduli Sihat.
