The Malaysian Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Khairy Jamaluddin, on Tuesday, ordered the immediate closure of a COVID-19 vaccination centre in the county for sanitisation, after more than 200 volunteers and workers in the facility tested positive to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister also advised those who were inoculated between July 9 and 12 at the centre<\/a>, about 25 km (15.5 miles) outside Kuala Lumpur, to self-isolate for at least 10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility has a capacity to administer about 3,000 doses daily. Of the 453 workers and volunteers screened, 204 tested positive, Khairy said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident comes as the country struggles to contain its biggest outbreak ever, with record deaths and cases amid a ramping up of its vaccination programme and stricter lockdown measures over the past month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 844,870 cases overall, Malaysia has one of Southeast Asia\u2019s highest per-capita infection rates, but also one of its highest rates of inoculation, with 25% of its 32 million population having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe centre will resume vaccinations on Wednesday after sanitisation and a change in staffing,\u201d Khairy added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
