Terengganu advises visitors from Covid-19 red zones to do risk assessment first

 

COVID-19 | People from Covid-19 red zones entering Terengganu are advised to contact the health authorities to undergo a risk assessment.

Terengganu health director Dr Nor Azimi Yunus said this is a measure to prevent the spread of the disease following the lifting of the restriction on interstate and inter-district travel on Dec 7.

“Since Monday, we have detected many close contacts of Covid-19 positive cases or clusters from outside Terengganu. 

"Infected people have also come to Terengganu. Unless this is quickly controlled, we will have new clusters in Terengganu,” she said in a Facebook posting today.

Azimi said those entering Terengganu are advised to contact the Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre (CPRC) or District Health Office operations rooms for a risk assessment and subsequent action.

“We have a declaration form that has to be filled,” she added.

She said some visitors from red zones go straight to a health clinic for a Covid-19 test, and they should be praised for helping to prevent infection in the community.

The CPRC can be reached at 09-6229775 and 09-6353752.
