KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 9 — Supermax Corp Bhd is implementing a three-day stoppage at its manufacturing facility in Meru, Klang due to several Covid-19 positive cases among its workers.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the glove maker said despite stringent standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place, the company recorded its first case of Covid-19 infection, suspected to have come from external transporters.
“The safety and well-being of the employees and the local community are of paramount priority towards containing the situation.
“The closure, from February 10-12, will go a long way towards minimising the risk of further spreading the virus,” it said.
The company also said it had been conducting periodic Covid-19 screening tests for both local and foreign workers at all of its factories.
“Supermax is cooperating and working closely with the Health Ministry and will continue to adhere to Covid-19 preventive SOPs on a stringent basis.
“Disinfection exercises at all our premises and workers’ accommodation will continue to be conducted regularly, with all the necessary precautionary measures strictly in place,” it said. — Bernama
