Tesco Mutiara Damansara : Official Statement On COVID-19 Exposure
SELANGOR, 14 Oct 2020 : Tesco Stores (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd has been informed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) that an intern attached to Tesco Extra Mutiara Damansara store has been tested positive for Covid-19.
Tesco is working with the MOH to ensure the health and safety of its colleagues who may have been in close contact.
In the meantime, Tesco is taking proactive measures to disinfect and deep clean the store overnight as a precaution. The store will reopen at 10am on 15th October 2020.
The safety of our colleagues and customers remain our priority and we have extensive measures across all our stores to help keep everyone safe, including temperature checking at entrances, customer registry through the MySejahtera app, physical distancing guidance on the floor, and regular sanitisation of heavy traffic areas such as the cashiers, trolleys and toilets.

Tesco Mutiara Damansara COVID-19 : Should You Be Concerned?
These shopping mall infections reinforce the importance of contact tracing, and the MySejahtera app which logs the movements of its users.
While shopping malls and all other public premises offer physical logbooks, we highly recommend that you use MySejahtera, because it allows for easier and faster contact tracing.
Using MySejahtera also obviates the need to sign a physical logbook, which usually means using a shared pen – an unnecessary risk factor.
If you happen to be in close contact with this Tesco Mutiara Damansara intern, you will be contacted and asked to self-quarantine and undergo a COVID-19 screening test.
COVID-19 is easily destroyed by soap, so the deep cleaning operation will definitely clean the branch of any infectious particles.
More importantly, face masks greatly reduce the risk of infection. That’s why it is critical for everyone to wear a face mask in public.
