This brought the number of premises in Sarawak listed in the HIDE system to 283 to date, said SDMC in a statement today.
KUCHING (Aug 11): The Spring Shopping Mall in Kuching has been listed in the Ministry of Health’s Hotspot Identification for Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) system today, revealed the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC).
This brought the number of premises in Sarawak listed in the HIDE system to 283 to date, said the committee in a statement today.
On May 8, National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme Coordinating Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said HIDE premises and locations had potential to turn into clusters if pre-emptive actions were not taken.
“Premises listed under HIDE are different from the list of clusters issued each day by the Health director-general.
“Premises listed under HIDE do not need to close except when directed by the authorities,” he said.
If no hotspots emerged in the premises after the implementation of pre-emptive actions, these premises would be removed from the HIDE list within a period of seven days after their listing, he added.
