Ministry of Health’s Hotspot Identification for Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) system
KUCHING (Aug 23): A market in Sibu has been listed in the Ministry of Health’s Hotspot Identification for Dynamic Engagement (HIDE) system today, said the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC).
SDMC said that the market involved is the Sibu Central Market/Sibu Night Market.
“This brings the number of premises in Sarawak listed in the HIDE system to 291,” it said in its daily Covid-19 update.
HIDE premises and locations have the potential to turn into clusters if pre-emptive actions were not taken and 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.
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.
