The ANGKASA cooperative just announced that all of their offices in the CMCO / PKPB areas will be closed indefinitely, because two of their employees tested positive for COVID-19.
ANGKASA : Two COVID-19 Positive Cases
On 22 October 2020, ANGKASA (Angkatan Koperasi Kebangsaan Malaysia Berhad) announced that all of their offices in the CMCO / PKPB areas, including Sabah, will close indefinitely.
ANGKASA Headquarters @ Wisma Ungku A. Aziz
ANGKASA Federal Territories Communications Office
ANGKASA Selangor Communications Office
ANGKASA Sabah Communications Office
MyANGKASA Holdings Sdn Bhd
They did not detail the reason for the sudden and indefinite closing of their office, but a former staff member shared that two of their employees had just tested positive for COVID-19.
This was confirmed by this letter from the Glomac Business Centre, which is next door to the ANGKASA building.
ANGKASA COVID-19 Exposure : Should You Be Concerned?
As per MOH guidelines, they will be performing contact tracing, and contacting those who came in close contact with the affected employees.
If you happened to be in close contact with any affected employee, you will be contacted and asked to self-quarantine as well as undergo a screening test.
These recent office infections reinforce the importance of contact tracing, and the MySejahtera mobile app which logs the movements of its users.
While public premises offer physical logbooks, we highly recommend that you use the MySejahtera mobile app, because it allows for easier and faster contact tracing.
Using the MySejahtera mobile app also obviates the need to sign a physical logbook, which usually means using a shared pen – an unnecessary risk factor.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is easily destroyed by soap, so the deep cleaning operation will definitely clean the outlet of any infectious particles.
But most important of all – we need to remember to always wear a face mask in public. Face masks have been proven to prevent the spread and reduce the risk of being infected.
