“Currently the Health Ministry is conducting screening and swab testing for all 1,200 detainees in the Bukit Jalil depot,” he said during the daily press conference. “Since in depots they are not isolated from one another but live side by side in dormitories, it is possible the infection spread out from one or more individuals,” he said.
“Once the depots have been cleared, all Immigration officers are to henceforth wear full personal protective equipment while on duty, compared to the previous practice of only wearing masks and gloves,” Ismail said.
