65 NS trainees still under quarantine


KUALA NERANG: Some 65 National Service Training Programme (PLKN) trainees from Dusun Resort camp here are still under quarantine.

Director-General of National Service Training Department Datuk Abdul Hadi Awang Kecil said they include the two being treated at Kuala Nerang Hospital for H1N1 infection.

He was confident that the two female trainees would be allowed to return if there was no problem, while 63 trainees were still in isolation in the camp.

"The isolated trainees do activities among themselves, rest, eat and take adequate medication. They don't have fever but still cough as it takes some time to heal completely," he reporters told at Dusun Resort camp here on Monday.

The 303 trainees at Dusun Resort camp will end training on July 14.

Abdul Hadi also said all outdoor activities would be cancelled if the Air Pollution Index (API) exceeded 100 while trainees would have to wear masks and outdoor activities would be reduced for readings of 95-99. - Bernama
