KUALA LUMPUR, April 5 — Several prominent five-stars hotels throughout the country have been designated as quarantine stations for Covid-19 after the federal government gazetted a further 63 sites today.
Among the prominent five-star lodging facilities gazetted are the Palace of the Golden Horses in Seri Kembangan, Tanjung Rhu Resort in Langkawi, Grand Millennium Kuala Lumpur, Hilton Kuala Lumpur and Dorsett Grand Subang in Subang Jaya.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba announced the move in the gazette published yesterday.
“In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 2 of the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988 [Act 342], the minister declares the places specified in the Schedule as quarantine stations,” the gazette dated April 3 said.
The facilities gazetted include public universities, community colleges, technical institutes, stadiums and prominent hotels.
The latest announcement brings the total of gazetted quarantine stations for Covid-19 in Malaysia to 472, following an earlier gazette made by the government last month.
Malaysia is already under an expanded movement control order put in place until April 14 to try and contain the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
As of April 4, the total cumulative tally of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia is 3,483, and the death toll stands at 57.
On April 2, Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob reiterated that the compulsory 14-day quarantine order for all Malaysians and visitors returning from overseas would be enforced beginning April 3.
This meant that all returning Malaysians or foreign visitors who enter the country will be subjected to the quarantine procedure at all entry points before being transported to the quarantine centres.
