The Health Ministry has found four subclusters of Covid-19 infections at four madrasas (religious schools) following contract tracing activities of index cases from the Sri Petaling religious gathering in late February.
"The Health Ministry had stepped up its detection, screening, testing, isolation and treatment through a targeted approach of high-risk groups. This was done in cooperation with various government agencies and NGOs.
"For example, through the cooperation with the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim) and the Sri Petaling tabligh mosque committee, the Health Ministry had identified the latest lists of madrasas and tahfiz for the purpose of tracing contacts of the index cases from the Sri Petaling gathering.
"Following the state and district health departments' proactive action in the field, a number of subclusters have been identified at a number of madrasas and tahfiz," Health Ministry director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah told a press conference in Putrajaya today.
