JOHOR BARU, May 8 — The Johor Health Department (JKNJ) today denied allegations on social media that the Taman Daya Econsave supermarket had been ordered shut after a Covid-19 case was detected there.
Its director Dr Aman Rabu said Econsave Taman Daya was handed a closure order in accordance to Section 11 Food Act 1983 (Amended 2004) starting from May 6-11 for cleaning works following rodent and cockroach infestations.
“However, the premise (Econsave Taman Daya) was reopened on May 7 (yesterday) when enforcement officers were satisfied with the cleaning exercise,” he said in a statement uploaded on JKNJ’s Facebook today.
Dr Aman advised the public to stop spreading unverified news to prevent alarm or confusion in the community. — Bernama
