The Malaysian Health Ministry (MOH) clarified that the recent Covid-19 alert in Subang Jaya reported on the MySejahtera app was a false alarm.
The notification had earlier caused a stir of confusion among residents in the area.
MOH explained that the alert had been caused by a Persons Under Surveillance (PUS) who had earlier been quarantined at a hotel in the area after undergoing Covid-19 screening.
Reportedly, a positive Covid-19 case was recorded on August 10, 2020, involving a foreign worker who had gotten tested at work and placed into quarantine at the hotel by their employer.
This was why the app had issued an alert for the area.
It is also said that the individual in question was later admitted to the Sungai Buluh Hospital.
