Malaysia reopens square cabin hospitals to place non-Malaysia confirmed citizens

On the 9th, local time, Malaysia’s senior Minister of Defense Ismail Shabiri announced that the Shaden Agricultural Expo (Malaysia’s version of the square cabin hospital) will be restarted from now on to become a low-risk isolation and treatment center for COVID-19.

Ismail Shabiri said that the government’s decision was based on the surge in confirmed cases of COVID-19 and the need for social insurance agencies to carry out COVID-19 screening programs for non-Malaysian foreign workers.

Ismail Sabiri said that the reopened isolation and treatment center only involves asymptomatic first-level patients and mildly symptomatic second-level patients, and said that the center is only used to resettle non-Malaysian citizens diagnosed with COVID-19.

In order to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus, Malaysia renovated the Shaden Agricultural Expo in Selangor as an isolation and treatment center at the end of March 2020, and has been closed for several months as the epidemic slows down.
