Komugi @ 1 Utama COVID Exposureย : Should You Be Concerned?

If you visited Komugi 1 Utama on 1 November and 2 November, you may be contacted by the Malaysia Ministry of Health if you are identified as a close contact.

You will then be asked to immediately self-quarantine and get yourself tested for COVID-19.

This infection reinforces the importance of contact tracing, and the MySejahteraย mobile app which logs the movements of its users.

While public premises offer physical logbooks, we highly recommend that you use the MySejahteraย mobile app, because it allows for easier and faster contact tracing.

Using the MySejahteraย 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.

 

COVID-19 : How To Keep Safe!

Here are a few simple steps to stay safe :

  • Avoid suspected cases or disease hotpots, like hospitals, if possible!
  • Avoid public events and crowds
  • Keep our hands clean with soap or hand sanitiser
  • Keep our home, office, vehicles, etc. clean
  • If you need to wear a surgical mask, make sure you put it on and remove it properly!
  • Wash your food with water (and soap) after purchase and before preparation
