SHAH ALAM, Jan 2 — Ikea Damansara announced its closure from today till further notice due to confirmed Covid-19 positive cases involving its store co-workers and service partners.
In a statement issued on its Facebook page today, Ikea Damansara said the cases were detected during their scheduled routine tests.
“We have been advised by the Health Ministry (MOH) this morning to close our store from today until further notice to undergo full contact tracing and sanitisation in accordance to MOH’s standards,” said the statement.
