KUALA LUMPUR (May 25): Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah (pictured) wants medical attention for detainees and decontamination immigration detention centres.
He also touched on discrimination against those detained in the centres in a Facebook posting yesterday
“As the virus ravages in these centres we need to enhance the active cases detection and isolate and treat those positive cases immediately. Quarantine those close contacts and decontaminate the respective centres,” said Dr Noor Hisham.
“The virus knows no boundaries and does not favour any ethnicity and social status.
“Our whole government and whole community approach should work together to fight the virus. Negative sentiments against detainees must not be amplified and must not be a catalyst for discrimination in saving lives,” he added.
It was reported yesterday that 27 Covid-19 cases came from a new cluster at the Semenyih immigration custody depot where some 1,631 migrants were currently under quarantine.
The same cluster recorded 21 cases on Saturday.
So far, three separate clusters of Covid-19 cases have been detected at three Immigration detention centres.
