PETALING JAYA: The Health Ministry has identified sub-clusters of Covid-19 cases at several madrasah and tahfiz schools across the country after they had close contact with participants of the tabligh gathering at the Sri Petaling Mosque earlier this year.

Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said the madrasah were located in Pahang, Pulau Pinang, Selangor and Melaka.

Twenty of those found to be positive have already been discharged, with the rest being treated at the Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan. At a madrasah in Jasin, Melaka a total of 37 cases had been detected, with only one case being discharged so far.Dr Noor Hisham said the Health Ministry would work with various agencies and take a targeted approach to test all those who had contact with the high-risk group.

“Don’t stigmatise them. What is important is we detect and treat those detected with Covid-19 together with their close contacts and families.
