There was more order there than previously following the surge in Covid-19 cases in Selangor of late which saw the Malawati CAC thronged by residents from Petaling district seeking health screening.

A Selangor health department (JKNS) spokesman said the improvements made since last Monday included enlarging the emergency section and equipping it with oxygen tanks, and opening a new area at the Stadium Malawati grounds for the screening of industrial workers.

The number of medical officers and ambulances was also increased while the spectator seating area at the stadium was filled with visitors to reduce the number of those outside the stadium.

The Malawati CAC also received a contribution of 10 tents from the Selangor government and 14 more from the Islamic Medical Association of Malaysia’s Response and Relief Team (Imaret) as well as food boxes from other NGOs.

Meanwhile, there was also more order at the Klang district CAC at Dewan Taman Sri Andalas with better control compared with the first day of its operation on Monday.

Although there was a rather big turnout for screening at this CAC with a long queue formed, the situation was under control.

Yesterday, Selangor health director Dr Sha’ari Ngadiman said the CACs in the state would be improved, especially the patient registration process and supply of oxygen tanks while the number of health workers would be increased.

Meanwhile, the vaccination centre (PPV) at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) in Shah Alam was up and running again today after being closed yesterday due to a number of Covid-19 positive cases detected among some of the health workers there since July 10.

The one-day closure of this PPV was for the purpose of sanitisation carried out by the fire and rescue department while 6,000 vaccination appointments were rescheduled.
