Kuala Lumpur: The Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (HTAR) in Klang has an outbreak of Covid-19, Selangor Health director Datuk Dr Sha’ari Ngadiman confirmed this evening, hours after news first erupted.
He said the contagion was likely because the hospital was in a Covid-19 red zone and had been treating a large number of patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI), though he stressed that it has been in full compliance of Covid regulations and that its frontliners were always wearing the personal protective equipment when on duty.
“At this time, 50 medical staff have been infected with Covid-19 and are being treated at Hospital Sungai Buloh,” he said in a statement on the Selangor Health Department Facebook page.
