KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 ― Putrajaya has decided to turn the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) into a Covid-19 quarantine and treatment centre with operations starting today.
Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri said that MAEPS treatment and quarantine centre 2.0 was hastened due to the surge in Covid-19 cases and screening of foreign workers conducted by Social Security Organisation (Socso).
“The decision to activate PKRC MAEPS 2.0 immediately is due to the sudden increase in Covid-19 cases and the implementation of the foreign workers screening program by the Social Security Organisation (Socso),” the minister said in a press conference.
He added that the treatment and quarantine centre will only receive foreign Covid-19 patients in two categories — Category one (not symptomatic) and Category two (slightly symptomatic).
