On Monday, Selangor reported 10 cases, with a majority of them coming from Klang
According to Malaysiakini, the cluster in Klang, dubbed as the Jalan Apas cluster, originated from a couple — Case 10,782 and Case 10,783 — who had visited Sabah.
The couple have been identified as the index case in the cluster, which led to six other people contracting the virus from them.
The duo visited Tawau and Semporna between 13 and 16 September.
Upon their return two days later, they started developing symptoms of fever, coughing, and flu.
They are currently receiving treatment at Sungai Buloh Hospital after being transferred from Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang.
