KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 14): Top Glove Corp Bhd reported on Monday that one of its workers died after infected Covid-19, the first death since an outbreak at its dormitories and factories.
The world’s largest glove maker told Reuters in an email that the 29-year-old worker from Nepal passed away on Saturday due to Covid-19 pneumonia with lung fibrosis.
He had worked at its manufacturing facility in Klang for more than two years.
The outbreak at Top Glove’s facilities in which more than 5,000 workers tested positive was Malaysia’s largest cluster. The company said it first detected infections on Nov. 2 among workers who took mandatory pre-flight tests in preparation to return home.
