KUALA LUMPUR – In a statement today, TDM Bhd said healthcare workers who had been in contact with the patient had also been identified for screening.
TDM, via its subsidiary Kumpulan Medic Iman (KMI), manages four specialist hospitals, namely TDMC, the Kelana Jaya Medical Centre in Petaling Jaya; the Kuantan Medical Centre in Kuantan; and the Kuala Terengganu Specialist Hospital in Kuala Terengganu.
“KMI is currently working closely with the health ministry, with all preventive measures taken to combat the spread of the disease.
“We are taking necessary action to look after the interests and well-being of our staff. They are under close monitoring or home quarantine,” said TDM Bhd in its statement.
The Covid-19 case reported at TDMC is a 46-year-old Malaysian female who recently came back from Jakarta and Bogor, Indonesia.
She and her family, including her husband, daughter and son, had visited both the destinations from Feb 13 to 19.
According to the statement, the general wards of the hospital are being closed for sanitisation works and because of staff quarantine issues.
“As some of our staff need to be quarantined for 14 days, we target to reopen within 48 hours or until further notice, depending on staff numbers.
“The rest of the hospital operations will continue as usual,” TDM Bhd said.
