Seafood section at KL wholesale market to close after Covid-19 cases

 

Several sections of the wholesale market at Selayang had been closed previously because of Covid-19 cases.

KUALA LUMPUR: The seafood section at the Kuala Lumpur wholesale market in Selayang is to be closed following a number of Covid-19 cases detected among the traders there.

According to a Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) spokesman, the closure will be from Sunday until May 16.

The spokesman told FMT a full statement will be released soon.

This would be the latest in a string of closures linked to Covid-19 faced by the market.

In January, the fish, fruit and vegetable sections were closed after 118 cases were detected among workers.

The market was also forced to halt operations last April to prepare for mass screenings, after the surrounding area was placed under an enhanced movement control order. - FMT
