KUALA LUMPUR: The results of Covid-19 tests conducted on those identified as close contacts of the Babel fitness centre member who tested positive have returned negative.

In a statement today, Suria KLCC management said extensive contact tracing was conducted immediately upon being alerted of the Covid-19 case involving a member of the Babel gym.

According to the statement, the Babel gym member in question had been to the fitness centre in Suria KLCC on four separate occasions between Sept 9 and 13, 2020.

“In an immediate action to ensure the public’s safety, Suria KLCC conducted a thorough sanitisation and disinfection exercise of the entire mall, especially at the common areas. The measures included regular cleaning of items that have more frequent points of contact,” it said.
