FamilyMart shut down their KLIA2 outlet today, after an employee there tested positive for COVID-19.
Find out what happened, and what you should do if you were there recently!
FamilyMart KLIA2 : One Employee Positive For COVID-19
On 25 October 2020, FamilyMart announced that an employee at their KLIA2 outlet tested positive for COVID-19.
That employee was last at work on 22 October 2020, but only tested positive today, 25 October 2020.
FamilyMart immediately shut down their KLIA2 outlet for a deep cleaning and sanitisation today, 25 October 2020., and will remain closed until further notice.
Meanwhile, the remaining staff there undergo screening and self-quarantine.
This is the second KLIA2 outlet to shut down because of COVID-19, after Jaya Grocer on 20 October 2020.
This FamilyMart KLIA2 outlet is located in a high-traffic area, next to the arrivals pic-up area.
FamilyMart KLIA2 COVID-19 Exposure : Should You Be Concerned?
In accordance with the Malaysia Ministry of Health guidelines, they will be performing contact tracing, and contacting those who came in close contact with the affected employee.
If you happened to be in close contact with the employee, you will be contacted and asked to undergo a screening test.
This infection reinforces the importance of contact tracing, and the MySejahtera mobile app which logs the movements of its users.
While public premises offer physical logbooks, we highly recommend that you use the MySejahtera mobile app, because it allows for easier and faster contact tracing.
Using the MySejahtera mobile app also obviates the need to sign a physical logbook, which usually means using a shared pen – an unnecessary risk factor.
The SARS-CoV-2 virus is easily destroyed by soap, so the deep cleaning operation will definitely clean the outlet of any infectious particles.
But most important of all – we need to remember to always wear a face mask in public. Face masks have been proven to prevent the spread and reduce the risk of being infected.
