Covid-19: Spike in Melaka cases due to influx of prisoners from Kajang, Sg Buloh prisons


MELAKA: The exponential increase of Covid-19 positive cases in Melaka on Thursday (Dec 17) is due to the influx of inmates of two outstation prisons, says Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali.

The Melaka Chief Minister said the record number of 98 cases on a single day was caused by the transfer of prisoners from Kajang and Sungai Buloh prisons since November.
