Police have denied allegations that a guest relations officer (GRO) at an entertainment centre in Ipoh was the cause of the Covid-19 outbreak which led to the Jalan Canning Estate cluster.
Perak police chief Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said investigations found the information being circulated was inaccurate.
“There is a misunderstanding. Several portals claimed the woman works as a GRO but actually, she is a Chinese national with a valid passport and she also has a career.
“She also makes Malaysia her second home. However, she never worked as a GRO or went to the entertainment centre at Jalan Canning Estate as reported,” he said at a press conference after observing the roadblock at the Ipoh Toll Plaza today.
Mior, however, did not reveal the actual person who sparked the cluster.
On April 10, the Health Ministry reported it had detected the Jalan Canning Estate cluster involving a social event held at Jalan Canning Estate, Taman Canning, where 39 out of 60 people tested positive for Covid-19 as of April 12.
Following this, allegations that the cluster involved GRO activities at the entertainment centre went viral on social media.
