SHAH ALAM, June 15 — The third phase of the Selangor’s Covid-19 community screening is proposed to involve hotspot areas in eight state constituencies.

According to him, the proposal has been submitted to the state government which will make a decision in the near future.
“The selection of areas are based on previous screening results which showed that the locations recorded an infection rate of more than 5 per cent.
