KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The police today said 40,000 people are involved in the Covid-19 chain infection, including those linked with the tabligh cluster.
Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador on Saturday said the data was analysed by a task force from the Criminal Investigation Department headed by Bukit Aman CID chief Huzir Mohamed to identify those who most likely to be infected by the coronavirus.
“We analysed the data by helping the ministry to identify up to about 11,000 tabligh members who attended the assembly at the Sri Petaling Mosque recently. “We identified the individuals concerned, including getting complete information, such as their home addresses, telephone numbers and identity card numbers, to give to the ministry for the persons concerned to undergo Covid-19 screening, ” Hamid said.
Hamid said the team was also trying to get information on tabligh members who were overseas, and details on them would be given to Immigration for necessary action to be taken upon their return.
